Pro Series - Dry Laid Stone - Railing Rods - Plug & Play
This video covers how to create and install railings to a dry stone wall. This is a very simple but time consuming method using only gravity and friction. This design and application has endless applications. This is simply concept - idea which may help you and others. With alternative solutions for building custom handrails and railings for patio, walkways and steps to name a few.
At all times appropriated PPE gear such as gloves, safety glasses, respirators, dust collectors should be used when working with cutting, grinding or shaping stone...etc. This was inspired by DSWA / DCS Mastercraftsman Neil Rippingale with a dry laid building structure built by DSC in Fairfield PA 2018. The design was build the rods into the wall in the middle of the packing stone. In order to help secure the roof to the dry laid stone structure. I never saw the rods in person nor how they built them nor installed them. A simpler method for wet work on another building built in the same area with lime in Fairfield PA. This information was shared by Seth Harris DSWA Waller. Both rods had been built with steel. Long term according to the builder of the project in which I was creating suggested we go with all stainless. The specs for this is: 3/8" stainless sheet cut into a 4"x4" square welded to 3/4" stainless steel all thread with stainless nuts welded top and bottom of plate as seen in video. A 1" carbide bit was used with a hammer drill in order to drill all holes. The rods and plates are set 3-4 course below top of build (including cap).
Cool
Thank you!
Great idea Mark and thanks for the video! Love the stonework on that project!! 🍻👍😎
Thank you. As you know some times simple is all you need. Thank you there was a great deal of shaping in this project. Well worth all the extra time in order to have good point to point contact for this backyard patio system.
Outstanding work Mark. 👍
Thank you took some time figure it all out!
Omg, that is extravagant! Is that house near the Cumberland area? I love driving over there from here in Ohio. I can see the hillsides; that guy must have a lot of money and a lot of time.
Myersville MD, yes off 70. It truly is amazing. Lots of fun working in the space.
I've been told that a railing on a dry stack wall is not possible, so nice to see that it is. Thanks for the info! Curious how the rest of the railing was completed. Did they just drill a 1" hole all the way through the 4x4 posts and slide them on? And how did they get them all level if the cap stones / rods weren't perfectly level?
So yes the home builder built the railings on site. He did a 4x4 cedar post drilled straight down the middle best he could. Then used stainless screws and washer 4 one on each corner to make sure each post was plumb. By added washers with each screw to make it vertically correct. Also thankfully the rods have a bunch of play so he could also bend them if needed to make small tweaks.
I almost feel like moving forward I'd try to do a concrete tube and build around it then just cutnthe top and pour it after the wall is finished maybe even stick some rebar across the tube so it is locked by the wall stones. Really not the easiest problem to solve. I'm sure there are lots of good answers.
One of products I've used with concrete was this company. All and all I feel aside from a custom built on site this is a great solution www.simplifiedbuilding.com
