I will not say that the porch, regardless of its height, can not exist without a handrail: they provide security for the person entering and leaving the house, and finally, give the porch a complete and harmonious look. So, let's start making this simple design, without which not one house is not enough. In order to make the railing for the porch of a country house, we will need the following tools:
- locksmith tools
- electrical tools
- wood as material for work
- level and rule
- paintwork materials
The procedure for the manufacture of handrails for the porch
When preparing the railing, it is necessary to perform all operationsin the following order:
Before you start making rails, you should make sure that all the work on the porch is completed and that no shortage will not affectand the upcoming work. In particular, the steps should be completely ready, their edges should be leveled, and on the porch material there should be no flaws such as chips and cracks.
Work must begin with the manufacture of thumbs located at the edges of future rails. Their height should be determined in such a way that the rails do not turn out to be above 90 centimeters, since it is such a height that is comfortable as a support for a person of medium height. The same rules apply to the manufacture of a wooden staircase to the second floor.
Between the extreme curbstones, pull the rope, which will become a guide for routing the handrail.
If the outline of future rails is determined to be acceptable for you, then it is necessary to mark the location of the racks. It is worthwhile to understand that the gap between the stands is chosen quite arbitrarily, but they often try to adhere to the interval of 20 cm, which will not allow the kids to make their way between them.
As the pillars are the main elements that ensure the stability of the future design, they must be securely secured. The simplest, but not the most reasonable option is fixing with nails. If you choose it, the supports can quickly loosen up and begin to creak. Significantly more reliable will be fastening with the help of self-tapping screws, which you can additionally strengthen by lubricating the bases of the posts with glue. The most reliable way is to use a studded joint, reinforced with glue and screws.
There should be no gaps on the joints of the various elements of the railing. To achieve this, all the wooden parts must be carefully ground. Careful processing of wooden parts of the handrail will also remove all defects that can cause all kinds of injuries( for example, splinters).Mounting the entire structure of the handrail, you should zashpatlevat all available gaps, buried hats nails and screws. If the hats protrude, they must be cut off by the Bulgarian. After completing these operations, all zashkatyvayut a neat way, wipe with a damp cloth and dried.
At the last stage, the railing is covered with varnish or paint. Selecting paintwork materials for finishing, you need to remember that they must match the wood used. Otherwise, the paint can quickly peel off, and the tree, left uncoated, can quickly rot away.
