Make a Steel Balustrade and Porch Renovation



The porch on my old home was looking really tired and had a lot of rotted timbers, so it was time for some maintenance. Rather than rebuild with timber, I decided to do something a little different and make the frame an rails out of steel. The rails made from 20 x 20 Steel square bar were made to look like they had been forged with all the edges beaten with the hammer. That job took a lot of time and it’s not something that I’m keen to do again in a hurry, though I’m really glad I took the time to do it as it looks better than just straight steel bars (in my opinion). Painted two pack polyurethane for durability. Timber tops; Kwila (Hard Wood). The deck was cleaned, sand and re-sealed in deck treatment (water based). Also I used a new camera for some of the close up shots and video (Cannon 750d DSLR) and the Go Pro for most of the other shots. I hope you enjoy the video and got something out of it, and as always, thanks for watching.
