More Tulip Street railing.

Wide steps need big posts.
|
|
Nice touch with the vertical decking.
|
|
Tall corner lamp posts. |

Another view of the feature strips breaking up the long lengths.Wrapped posts allow for wiring. |
 |
Nice job Steve! |
 |
Classy - multi-level - the railings really set it off and divide the deck levels. |
 |
I don't see any stainless steel finish nails - do you?
If you walked the whole deck, you wouldnt find more then a handful of small shiny finish nail heads. |
 |
Glued and nailed and all you see is an occaisional little shiny head.
Pl-Premium polyurethane adhesive and stainless steel finish nails are the way to go. |
 |
Wet deck shows the decking nicely. There's going to be some serious entertaining on this deck. |
 |
What can I say, I like my rails!
Put the lamp on the tall post and call it a job well done! |
 |
Nice job coming down the steps.
All this work was done by one person. |

Check out the little vertical pieces for the step risers. |
