Wrought Iron Handrails for Outdoor Steps - Exterior Hand Rails for Concrete Steps Outside Metal Stair Railing Porch 2 Step

Bought this to assist 87 year old dad to get down 2 stairs on patio. My husband installed fairly quickly- the rail is sturdy. It isn’t fancy, noticeably different look from our wrought iron railings. However was a quick fix for his need and looks clean. Nice wide rail to steady oneself- easy to grip.

Installed on wood steps, was easy and are sturdy!

So I ordered 2 of these for our Ioading dock at my work putting them together wasn't to bad a little confusing but I worked thru it the quality seem good we will see after a while outside I'm holding back a star because the hardware is ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE the included masonry bit was to awful bad did what it was supposed to the anchors GARBAGE they don't work well at all IHad to run to Lowes and purchase better one you would think that would be something they wouldn't want to skimp on but they did when the hole is drilled and you go to tighten the nut down they just spin and don't grab like an concrete anchor is supposed to definitely a decent product andbi think they will serve the purpose

Worked great for our front porch, and gives us an steading rail. only took my husband 10 min to intall.

This is an excellent handrail. Exceptionally sturdy and strong. Hopefully you understand how to bolt a railing into concrete, if you are going that route. Definitely a good choice for either wood or concrete.

The assembly was easy enough, although the major difficulty I encountered was the bolts & anchors supplied for used in bricks, concrete, masonry. Rather than supplying simple sets that can be inserted in one piece, this manufacturer gave a archaic and difficult assembly. It's nearly impossible to align the bolt to the anchor separately, because the instructions have you drill the holes in the masonry then you need to insert the bolt through the metal base of the handrail and into the drilled masonry hole and still thread the bolt into the anchor. Easier to toss this, and buy bolts with the anchors, drop them into the masonry hole, then place the handrail base atop the bolts, then use nuts to screw down onto the handrail base and simultaneously screw into the anchor.

Easy to install on either wood or concrete. Very professional looking with high quality parts and finish. This is much easier than building your own.

This review is not so much about the quality, brand, or design of these steps, tho I will touch on those issues a little too. It's more about the sheer difficulty of securing these rails to concrete steps. First, unless the concrete you have is the consistency of butter or dry wall, there is NO WAY you are going to be able to use a hand drill to drill your anchor holes. Maybe an impact drill will work, but you are really going to need a hammer drill. There is a reason why the cheap drill bit that comes in the kit has 4 slots at the base. It is designed for a hammer drill for a reason. I still had to go to Lowes to buy a better drill bit so prepare to tack on another $15 onto the price of these steps at least. Thank God my brother-in-law had a hammer drill. Otherwise, the job would not have been completed. I would have had to buy or rent a hammer drill to install these rails. Second, beware of the horrible concrete anchors that come with this rail kit. They are flimsy & cheap so be warned. Third, there is no way you can get away with pre-drilling your anchor holes first and then expect the rail base plate holes to line up. Not going to happen in a million years. We had to bore out all 4 holes of each metal base plate first, using a metal drill bit. We then positioned each base plate on the concrete then drilled the holes from the top of the anchor plate with the hammer drill. The anchors were pushed into the holes from the top of the metal base plate and then secured by tightening the anchor nut. Attacking this step from the bottom of the base plate was absolutely futile. Lastly, the base covers for the columns are cheap plastic. They look terrible, like plastic would against nice black powder coated metal rails. They should have been made with the same metal too. Anyway, they are up. And they are sturdy. And they will serve the purpose for our homeowner's insurance company that is sucking us dry with inspection infractions like step rails. Good luck with the installation! It took 2 people 2 hours for mine.
