## About

- 22 years in business

Kyle Braniff, founder of Braniff Construction, developed what was to become a lifelong passion for construction during his teenage years. Starting early, he began assisting his father on any given weekend with what he fondly remembers as “the family construction project of the month."

That interest held firm as he attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (formerly the University of Southwestern Louisiana), where Kyle earned a degree in Art and Architecture in 1996. While in college he supplemented his income by building decks, fences and various other construction jobs.

Kyle worked in the oil & gas field while pursuing his MBA, but his passion was always in building. As luck would have it, a slowdown in the oilfield service industry brought Kyle back into the building business. He soon found himself with an abundance of deck and fencing jobs through referrals from those familiar with his work ethic and superior workmanship.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Cool rope work** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am wanting to do about 5 feet of this type of rope railing for my sons loft bed.  Does this rope work have a certain pattern name, or do you know a place where I could get some instruction on trying this myself?  Greatly work!

A: I just tried a few patterns and made it work.  The holes are drilled every 4", then i tied a double knot on one end and shoved it through the hole in each one.  Then tied a square knot at each cross over.  Very time consuming, it took days to do this., but for 4' it should take long
