very nice.
good to see there are people that still know what a good finish and quality workmanship is.

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 5:48 am

Right staircase is done :mrgreen:

Still have a couple of balustrades to do yet.

Sexy. So you will pick up that supporting post in the landing handrail as well?
(make sure you make the handrail 1.000m h eh).

Plans called for the handrail to be 900mm high from the top of the tread. No good you reakon? F#$k it better be alright :!:

Im just the monkey who reads plans and builds shit. :lol:

There is a supporting post from the inner stringer to the ground about halfway down. Waiting for the floor to be polished before its installed.
Yes landing handrail welds into both sides of that post.

Tom
Pretty sure you are fine at 900. The NZ/AS standard calls for between 900 & 1100 from memory.
Was working with this last year for factory guarding.

rokhound · Post by **rokhound** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 3:20 pm

You need min 1.000 from the flat surface of a landing, 900mm from the nosing line of the treads is fine though. The size variation can make it a bitch to match up a stair stringer handrail and a landing handrail if there is no newel post.

without getting into a DEBATE are they tie down eyes at the bottom of the cage braces or have you got some other clever idea in mind that I havent thought of? :?:

Overkill · Post by **Overkill** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:19 pm

Just a thought, bit of a brainfart, but you could make the sliders and sell them online, Trademe and the likes.......make them a bolt-on type deal :wink:

Like these but better :mrgreen:

Can do. Would prefer to make them to order tho. Doing so and freighting them around the country is no problem.

Any welded on bar work is legal but needs to be certed to the best of my knowledge.

You could make a trademe listing and then say that you can make them to suit, potential for lots of customers that way

Thats a good idea

Does anyone ever look at the "Services" bit of trade me? Would that be a better to place to list barwork etc or just run auctions?
Have thought about trade me but never followed it up :roll:

Might have another think about it :roll:

And if it works then i am going to partition a 36hr day!!!! :lol:
