Customer's Comments:

Hello,
We have finished our railing project & have started our fence project. Just thought you might like to have some before and after pictures of the railing project. We resolved the issue we were having in attaching the railing to our brick steps. We found that you cannot use concrete anchors when attaching to brick. We drilled 1/2" holes approx. 2-1/2" deep and inserted 5/16" lead anchors which were 2 inches in length.  We then attached the support posts using 2 inch lag screws. This allows us to tighten the post into place without breaking the brick. We've had a lot of compliments on the railing. As you can see, it is a definite improvement over the rusty iron railing we had in place previously.  We'll send some pictures of our fencing project after completion.

Thanks,
Karla M.
