Straight sections before modification
Curved Railing made from salvage material.
This railing started out in straight pieces. The railing sections came from an old church. The sections where salvaged and stored until the home owner came up with the idea to surround an outdoor hot tub.

Cuts along the railing then welded allowed us to form the curve

We added feet with mounting pads where needed

We added a small gate in the rear for another access
We started out by looking at the sections one at a time taking notice of any special details or bad spots. We then took inventory of how much usable railing was available along with the number of scroll details. The next step was to measure what was needed to surround the tub. We divided up the scroll details putting two side by side at the entrance to the tub. We made a few strategic cuts to allow for even spacing of the remaining scrolls. It turned out we had just enough material. The couple of rotted out spots where cut around. So we got lucky.

The gate hinges where made simple . The gate is almost invisible.
