Retro Brass Railing

 Retro Brass Railing complements modern furniture and cabinets. The minimal style is a throw back to the mid-century era. This modern railing adds a decorative and functional edge to cabinets, furniture and shelving. The posts and rod are made of solid brass. Brass is un-finished. It can be polished to a shiny glow or darkened to look old. Attach to surface-top with screws. 

Design Retro Brass Railing Layout to fit your suit your situation.

Guidelines for determining layout.

A sketch of how you want the brass railing to appear can be helpful in determining layout.

• Placement of Retro Brass Railing Posts is subjective.
• Post should be spaced equally across front.
• Typical spacing between posts, across front or back, is approximately 8” – 12” apart.
• If brass rail will be straight without sides, use end posts on each end
• If retro rail will have sides, use corner posts as a junction between front or back and sides.
• Please note if using sides: side-spacing often differs from front-spacing
• Post-base diameter is 1-1/4”. These posts should be inset a minimum of 3/4” from edge.

• Brass Rod is available in 2 lengths: 36” and 72”
• If rod is not long enough, it can be joined to another rod, within a post.
• If needed, rod can be cut shorter with a hacksaw
• Measure length of each straight run.
  If your design is a straight rail, with no sides, it is one run.
  However if it has more than once side, such as 3 sided it would then have 3 runs.
• As rod is 36” or 72”, it often needs to be cut shorter or joined with a longer section to complete a run.
• To calculate total amount needed: add together total number of rods, for each run. Consider that you may have leftover rod from one run to satisfy another run.
