Railing for saltwater environment: stainless rail vs. glass
Comments (1)Aluminum railings, paint with Awlgrip marine paint. We are dead on saltwater bay....See MoreHand railing stain/paint color help!
Comments (7)You can mix your own stain from other colors. You’ll need a close sample of the wood though. Maybe you can buy a sample of the same type of wood as your handrail to play with, then buy small cans of stains that are close to the color you want. I got some stainless measuring spoons at Walmart, and disposable styrofoam bowls or preferably leftover glass jars to play with mixes. Also consider buying sandpaper and wood conditioner to use before you stain - it affects the final color. I have had more success with ”original” oil based stains than with any fast-curing or water based or poly stains. I was able to match a piece of oak transition strip to a dark taupe stone tile. It was worth the trouble! You might be successful going with a darker version of the color on your stair treads. Dark colors are easier to get the desired effect, because it is easier to null out the yellow and red tones in the wood. My favorite new stain color is a smokey espresso! I would not paint it white if you are planning to use the handrail a lot....See MoreExterior railing help, cable railing kits
Comments (26)So, the county plans to pave the space? Do they have a timeframe? I'd talk to the County Planner and ask for his suggestions. You can put forward the position that creating public parking will create more hazard for your property then leaving it garden. And this means you'll going to incure greater expense for the railing. See if they can help or add the railing to their portion of the property....See MorePost and hand rail color
