This is a fully custom handrail, made specifically for your steps. We don't sell stock sizes: every handrail is built from scratch to the exact length, rise, and angle of your stairs, so it fits your steps perfectly.

Our Metal Square Tube Handrail adds a sturdy, modern handrail to steps and stairs where there is no wall to attach one. The 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square steel rail sits on two ground-mounted steel posts, and every handrail is custom made to the exact length and angle of your stairs, made in the USA, and shipped to your door ready to bolt down. Use it indoors or outdoors.

Fully Custom, Made for Your Steps
