Exterior Handrails
Exterior handrails are the handrails attached to your front or back steps or sometimes along a winding garden path. These railings are often made of wood or wrought iron, but can be of steel, aluminum or even plastic.
Handrails are important to keep people from tripping on your steps or falling off of the side. Handrails need to be a proper height and be supported by posts that are close enough together that a child wouldn't be in danger of getting caught between them. In addition, exterior handrails need to be installed so they are sturdy and not wobbling or at risk of coming detached from the posts.
