Anyone know anything about designing / installing a balcony railing / balustrade?

chrismanc in reply to @Howard
It's a fucking pain . Problems can arise with :
1. How do you affix the railing to the existing structure? Will it be stable and secure ? Will it move over time? Do you need to place extra structural support for the railing ?
2. If installing over an existing external roof or terrrace- how can the installer / builder guarantee the thing will be waterproof where it's fixed into the existing roof structure.
An architect may or may not care about the above . An installer will likely take the job/ deposit before flagging any of this

Umm, not to stick my oar in but that's exactly what architects care about - at least the ones that design stuff like balustrades. I used to do it but not for a while.

Good news is that the whole roof structure and covering is coming off so it can be done properly. Bad news is I don’t know what done properly looks like.

(Also appreciate this isn’t extension but it’s not DIY either or owning your own home fare)

@hoefla halp!
