The Holy Grail of Rails

We all know I need these rails now that I wobble and fall down. Crown Fence of Statesville had to custom make each one. It was a small job, so each set was installed whenever that piece was finished.
They measured and took photos and re- measured. All the rails are very sturdy and securely attached to the decking and/or the poles are buried and concreted into the ground.

The railing down the center of the carport steps is long overdue. Two people have fallen down these previously.

These are the steps all deliveries come down. No telling how many of those folks have had issues.

The little steps at the spigot is the site of my accident on August 4th involving my bad, right hip causing a stumble off the walkway while wrestling a hose. This rail has been made wrong, so I am still waiting for the most important one to be installed.

Some pavers have been removed for the last single rail installation which will have one pole in the ground.

I’ve seen chipmunks jump this without missing a beat. Now, I have a compression injury that is still a problem two months later. All because of a thirsty plant.

The railing near the wellhouse got upgraded from a swizzle tomato stake. The installer deemed this green swizzle unfit and unsafe.

The dog steps have had a serious upgrade. These steps were thrown up so our two dogs could lie on the deck and watch us through the glass doors. These were no doubt dangerous.

For the dawgs.

The lovely railing is a huge improvement.

Much safer for a wobbly old person.

This set of steps goes to the new pebble patio. These were impossible for me to use all summer long. I am really happy to be able to escape off the deck safely.

Now, if I can just stop falling down in the yard things will be great.

  1. They look great Flow.. and with rails, much safer… I know I have had to put an extra step in near our back door as it was a deep step, which is now much easier to climb in and out the door, especially for my hubby with bad knees..
