The rails to my front steps were in really sad shape. The were abuse aluminum and you certainly didn't want to hold onto them for balance, much less depend on them to keep you from falling off the steps.
The EX had told me that he would make new railings, which he did, and he installed them last weekend. They are of galvanized steel, so should hold up to just about anything. And the galvanization means I have all kinds of time to paint them if I so desire.
I feel better knowing they are in before the window guys come as I could envision them going over the side with a window - without good results!
Interesting anchoring scheme. Personally, I'd rather have no rail than have a wobbly one; so, glad to see that you have a solid installation, now. EX done good!

Not an unusual anchoring for commercial rails. He asked if I wanted them in the same place, and I said I wanted them outside the stairs if possible, to give as much room as possible.

Good thought!
