Adding a hand/gaurdrail
10 years ago
Love the uncluttered design but everywhere I've ever lived in the US has code requiring a handrail.** Design-wise: How would you add one?
**After 14 years in a power chair, I can also attest that guard rails are a good idea. Ice, snow and even rain can make navigating a ramp perilous. Guard rails have kept me out of trouble a number of times!
