About this deal

After you have determined the location of your newel post, you need to think about the best way to get it firmly anchored into the framing of your particular project. Very often in a loft situation, the newel post will be anchored on top of, or very near to, the rim joist that supports the open front of the loft area. It was the rim joist that was the target framing member to which we wanted to anchor our newel post. Any time you do a crosscut operation on the table saw; make sure to use the miter gauge. The Loft Surround Safety Rail provides extra safety and stability when venturing in and out of the loft space. While there are several on the market, my favorite is the Sure-Tite Fastener by L.J. Smith, which employs a large lag bolt that screws down into the floor framing and extends up inside the newel post.

If you’re looking to be creative with your loft railing ideas, consider integrating storage into the railings. Having a railing with storage is the perfect way to make the most of your extra space and provides the additional advantage of having dual-purpose railings – so you won’t only have a secure barrier in your loft but also create additional storage opportunities. As is often the case with a loft, the guardrail presents a challenge where the rail height is interrupted by the rake of the ceiling coming down to meet it. You may also run into the challenge, as we did, of finding a way to anchor the rail into a ceiling where there are no rafters lining up with the rail. Downsizing is one of the hottest topics in homeownership today! For many households, this means switching from a conventional two-level floor plan to a home with one or more lofted living spaces.The Safety Grab Rail is a simple and effective balance rail that gives support when using stairs or steps. Loft railings are more than just a safety measure (of course, the importance of safety can’t be understated!).

Next, we set the table saw fence to make the tenon cuts, being careful to stop each time the shoulder cut on the newel reached the edge-of-blade mark on the table saw surface. After making the vertical cuts for the newel tenon, a miter saw carefully extended our shoulder cuts down to meet the tenon. After cutting the trim board, which extends the length of the loft, we transferred the marks for, and cut out the opening for the newel post tenon. The Safety Grab Rail Your reliable companion for enhanced stability and support during stair or step usage. The Grab Rail offers great stability, balance and support, giving you the confidence you need when climbing in and out of your loft hatch. The 10-3/4-inch lag bolt has wood threads on the bottom and bolt threads on top. The installer must cut a 1-1/2-inch hole through the side of the newel to access the top of the bolt where a special washer and standard nut can be tightened with a wrench. A tapered wood plug, which comes with the kit, fills the access hole.When it was all done, it was a cool looking guardrail that matched the décor of the house. It is currently helping to keep the loft-seeking kids that live there safer. Any time you have elevated floor space to an open area below, you need to have either a half-wall or a guardrail for fall protection. We also cut a shoulder all the way around the newel post, which gave the bottom of the newel post a tenon that went into the opening in the floor. We usually mark the portions of material that we want to remove with an “X”. Extend the layout lines for the newel tenon across the bottom of the post and up to the shoulder cut.
