Hi folks, I'm hopefully going to be doing a long handrail for some clients who want it to come straight down their steps, level out flat at the top and bottom, then curve off around the corners at both the top and bottom. I haven't been to site for a while but from memory the total handrail length would be about 5m.
It would be made using half round square edge and made in 3 pieces as it's too long to manouver in one piece. At the clients request the posts on the steps are having feet that will be screwed down rather that resin/leaded in but the top and bottom curve sections will be cemented in.
Their house and gardens are Grade 1 listed so the solution needs to be considerate of that. I think I've sussed out the best solution but I thought I'd put it to you good folks too incase I've overlooked something obvious. As they are local I plan to have a dummy run install to make sure everything fits ok, then take it for weatherproofing, then return once it's treated for the final fit.
Can anyone offer up any ideas? Cheers
