My house is built with a steep driveway leading into the garage. My older friends can't walk up or down my driveway without holding on to something. I need some kind of hand railing along the driveway to help them out! any ideas???

  • Wrought Iron, 4x4 posts with railing, vinyl railings - there are numerous options out there Your best bet is to see what is available for decks & modify

    Take some good photos and measurements then check with your local Home Depot or Lowe's (or your area's equivalent.) Ask for a knowledgeable clerk at the service desk and look at their premade items in decorative metal railings and fence sections, including posts. Also their pre made wood fencing items. It would help ALOT if you had ideas from Pinterest or Google with photos. You could go as simple as thick rope between fence posts or chain, to a more elaborate set up. Good luck! Your older friends are lucky to have a considerate friend.

    A split rail fence along one side of the drive will help. If you can place one nearer the street parallel to the road on the other side of the drive, it will balance the look.
