| Here's a great example of an
outdoor concrete stairs with bolt on metal handrail. This is a common
stair used in an apartment or condominium complex. As you can see the
set of stairs was built and then the handrail was bolted into the
concrete. This can be done two different ways.
The first way would be to install the metal studs in the concrete as you
were pouring the set of stairs. This way provides an excellent support
system for the metal handrail.
The second way is to pour the concrete stairs and let them dry for a few
weeks while gaining strength in the concrete. Then you'll mark and drill
the hole's necessary to eproxy the metal studs used to bolt the
handrailing system to the stairs. This is of course the easier way. |
