Deck and balcony railings in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn are the right call for this waterfront neighborhood, and Brooklyn Stair Railings builds them to survive the exposure. The homes here have decks, balconies, and docks that face salt air and storms, so ordinary steel does not last. We fabricate marine-grade 316 stainless and aluminum guards, weld every joint in our shop, and field-measure to fit. Sheepshead Bay owners call us when a deck or balcony rail has to stand up to the water.
Sheepshead Bay wraps around its namesake inlet in southern Brooklyn, a waterfront neighborhood of single- and multi-family homes, garden apartments, and low-rise buildings near Emmons Avenue and the Belt Parkway. Many homes here have decks, balconies, and private docks that face directly onto the water. The salt air and storm exposure make marine-grade stainless and aluminum the materials that hold up on exterior railings here.
The decks and docks on Sheepshead Bay's waterfront homes take the full brunt of salt air, so plain steel corrodes fast. We fabricate guards from 316 marine-grade stainless or finished aluminum, both of which resist the coastal exposure, and weld the joints to match the parent metal. The rail is set to the roughly 42-inch guard height and anchored solidly to the deck or dock frame.
Second-floor balconies here often want a guard that keeps the water view open. We fabricate stainless posts with tensioned cable or glass infill, keeping the openings tight enough that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass while leaving the sightlines clear. Everything is built in stainless hardware so the tension and finish survive the salt air.
Waterfront railings have to be anchored to handle wind and storm loads, not just everyday use. We fasten posts into solid framing or masonry with corrosion-resistant hardware and detail the connections for the exposure. Where an existing rail has corroded, we cut out and re-weld the failed sections in stainless or rebuild the guard entirely.
We also fabricate railings in nearby Sunset Park. Call Brooklyn Stair Railings at (347) 518-1928 for stair railing fabrication & installation across Brooklyn.
