I salute you for the choice of stairs hardware. I totally detest the chrome stuff that has become popular here.

Good luck on your project.

Thanks bro!
Your thread has awakened me to the fact that "Success is not owned, it's rented. And the rent is due daily ".
The Chrome "bling bling " is not my thing and I don't do "vogue". Wrought iron is the deal for me.

That is the question. If he will meet my expectations and standard. No doubt, a lot of folks are keeping fingers crossed!
Materials will be wrought iron for the balcony at the approach. There's also the rear balcony which I might seal off with a hidden lock, (for security and emergencies) and will feature the wrought iron too. That's the window you referred to.

I believe he’ll deliver this. He just need to take his time to work on the finishing and the painting too. It must be matt black and not the bling bling black.

Well done sire. Great taste you’ve got there.

Do you know most welder run away from these designs because of what it takes (time and materials) to achieve them.

Those little pieces are what makes wrought iron works unique and expensive

I was working on a gate last week. The time it took to bend 20 lengths of 14mm square rod into a perfect circle (Pic 3 below) was almost 2 days.

It’s a time consuming work.
Here in Lagos and some part of Southwest I know very well you don’t need to waste much time to bend wrought iron into your desire shape
just work to OWODE mile 12 area to get it ( that is if you are in Lagos or ogun and Ibadan) there others places too to get such.

Some guys/ old men there are specialized Only on wrought iron designs work.
Just give them the design they will bring out the shape for you then your welder man will do the rest.

2) I’ve been in structured where the block was smaller than the pillar in certain areas.

I’ll defer to the structural engineer.
I can imagine how awkward that was, for pillars to be shooting out of the walls... undecided

Wrought iron is expensive something. Normally the rod comes in 10ft length instead of usual 18ft most rods come as. Na recently they started importing the 18ft wrought iron.

What you're looking at here is more than #4,500. Imagine if your rail needs like fifty of such

It wasn’t for me. It’s not any out of place than free standing pillars with no block.

I always do love this wrought iron work or designs, but finding it hard to see someone that can do it. Those welders keep telling me galvanized pipe or something like that which I don't like.


Trying to settle for stainless steel for the railing, but do you know of any better option (maybe cheaper?)

Imagine if you have 5/16 inch forged steel hammered texture solid flat bar hand rail on it.

Wrought iron is cool but every decorative elements on it are pricey.

As you can see we can do that for you and others builders/ contractors here can get it done also.

As for the cheaper one l, you can only go for 12mm normal high yield reinforcement but this will looks horrible for stir railings
Better option is to go for square pipe 3/8 or 1/2 for the design then 2” for the top railings

Please, is the quality of cast iron similar to that of wrought iron? I know they differ slightly in composition and how they are formed into designs; but aside that, are there any pros of one over the other? Thanks
