Well as Roy and I walked around and talked with a employee that does special orders (Home Depot) . Asking about medal hand railings. She told me that the size I need will cost around $300,00 plus. So now what. I know the folks I am trying help, really don't have that kind of funds. So we walked around and just looking at different ways of making it happen.
We talked about black pipe (gas pipe) This is very strong. Then thought why not just 1" galvanized pipe. Which is used for industrial construction.
Why not ad least try and see how strong it will be? .
We bought the parts and brought them to Wayne and asked what he thinks? Let us try and see what happens? So we ended up using 36" lengths. Put the whole thing to together and lined it up and Wayne said go for it.
If we put up the good stuff, aluminum railing it would look a lot better. But is WORKS. As we used three, floor flanges. Two on the top. Putting one on the inside and the other holding the pipe in place. We used 5/16 X 3" bolts with nylon treads nuts. This way the blots will not loosen up at all.
To get it on the correct angle, had to use a 45, plus a couple close nipples. Then Tap Con the flange down in the cement.
Hey we had Wayne try it out and he was very happy. The cost was less than $120.00.
Then we needed to put up some shelving on the side of his shed. All came out looking good to me.
I am so happy to be able to help folks out. Plus make a buck or two. But at the end I am really below the going rate for fixing things up. But as long as I have the ability to do a good job and bless folks.
It is for Him and Him alone.
Please remember what this SEASON is all about.
Our Savor Jesus Christ is the REASON.
