An Old Railing Turned New Again.

We recently purchased a house that had a rather attractive railing in the front. My husband and I saw a fence at a wedding and used it as inspiration to create a usable rustic rapped post and railing

This is what we started with. Who painted them olive green anyway?





I used sisal rope and E6000 glue to wrap the post. Each post used about 50 feet of rope, plus a little more for the cap part.





We added a white poly rope as the railing, twisting it for grip and strength.





Our final product is a rustic railing and post that fits into our yard nicely.





Rope: approx $7.78 at Lowes. 100' per roll x4 rolls
E6000: approx $4.28 x2 tubes
White rope: approx $10.00 x1 roll
