Porch Ballistrade railings

13 years ago

Hello, I love the ballistrade railings on the front porch. Who was the manufacturer for this - or was this custom made? Do you have other close up pictures of the details?

The railings were custom designed and fabricated onsite. For the columns however, we used a composite product by Trustile, mainly because I was concerned about weather with those. The railings were made from solid clear, dried, cedar. Attached is a better view of them. Best of luck with your project!

Pots of red colored flowering plants would really set off the white trim!

It's about 15' or so, as I recall. Sorry for late reply. Completely missed this one.
