How to Build a Wood Railing for Steps?
Here is the method you can follow:
Begin by using a stud finder to locate the studs at the handrail bracket places. Handrail brackets need to be installed with a gap of no more than 4 feet.
Have brackets 1 foot from the top and bottom of the handrail and a minimum of one in the centre. The more the brackets, the sturdier the handrail will be.
Once you pinpoint the location of the studs, take a level to mark vertical reference lines on the wall indicating the centre of each stud.
Now, measure and cut the handrail to the appropriate length. For easy gripping, the handrail must extend beyond the top and bottom steps by a distance equal to the width of a stair tread.
Use a tape measure and a level. Mark the wall at a point 36 inches above the nose of the stair treads, at the bottom, middle and top of the handrail place.
The reference markings will show the location of the top edge of the handrail. For a proper height, make these vertical measurements from the exact nose of the stair treads. The height of the handrail must be between 34 and 38 inches.
Position the handrail against the wall so the top edge is against the reference marks you drew.
Make reference marks on the rail’s bottom, at the location where the handrail intersects the lines marking the studs. These markings indicate the location of the tops of the support brackets.
Locate and attach the handrail brackets to the wall at the reference marks you made on the studs lines. The bracket tops must be flush with the bottom edge of the handrail.
Position the handrail so it rests on the brackets, ensuring it has the right overhang at the top and bottom.
Secure the handrail to the support brackets with the U-shaped sleeves that fit around the arms of the brackets. Drive the screws in tightly with a screw gun.
This is all. I hope you now know how to install wooden railings for stairs.
