How are the rods attached to the newel posts?

Love the look! Thinking of doing something similar using threaded rods. Just curious about the rodas are attached to the newel posts.

    Hi! I love this. I am wanting to redo my railings, but what would you suggest me do considering I already have cedar "poles" up (I am just wanting to replace the railings) and I love these pipes. And I am not very good at this stuff I would be recruiting my dad. Ha! =) Thanks!

    You can use this are concept, but I think you'd have to have the ability to remove the last post in order to thread all the others through...good luck!!

    This is exactly what my husband and I would like to do for our stairs in our new build. Would you mind sharing what type of piping this is and where I might find them? Thanks!

    Hi Bri,

    This project is about 5 years old, and we had the luxury of installing the posts as the railing was being built, so it was done in sections, with the metal railing threaded through holes in the posts. They are painted gas pipe, but I believe now there are multiple sources for pre-painted horizontal railing systems that would be better suited for this application, but gas pipe was very cheap(!)

    Our carpenter said exactly that when we were talking through how to install this--he plans to do one section at a time, adding the rail as he goes. Thank you so much for the information! We are on a budget, so I love the gas pipe suggestion. :) Do you happen to remember what size piping it was? Much appreciated!
