Outdoor Railings – Central Austin

Project Overview

Custom handrails for an outdoor space in central Austin 

Location: Central Austin
Project Type: Residential
Scope: Handrails
Purpose: Enhancing safety and style for the outdoors

Project Details

For this Lakeway residence, we crafted custom cylindrical outdoor stair railings using high-grade steel tubing. The clean, rounded design was chosen to add modern character while prioritizing outdoor safety and structural durability. Fabricated in our northeast Austin workshop, the rails were precisely cut, TIG welded, and powder-coated in a durable black finish built to withstand the elements. The fabrication process took 3 days, followed by a full day on-site to ensure a seamless installation across the staircase and balcony.

Challenges and Solutions

Outdoor staircases bring unique layout and elevation challenges. To guarantee a secure and consistent fit, we templated the stairs and balcony by hand and built each railing section to follow the grade. Every joint and bracket was pre-fit in the shop to save time during install. Our crew brought backup mounting hardware and cylindrical connectors, but the install went off without a hitch—thanks to tight planning and on-the-ground experience.

Design Features

This railing system features sleek, cylindrical lines with a smooth powder-coated finish that balances visual lightness with heavy-duty function. The rounded profile softens the look without sacrificing strength, making it a perfect match for contemporary outdoor builds. It’s bold without being bulky—and built to age well in the Texas sun.

Collaborators

We worked closely with the homeowners to strike the right tone: clean, modern, and unfussy. Our in-house fabrication crew handled the full build and install with precision, from raw steel to final fit. No subcontracting—just a tight, hands-on team taking care of every step.

Why It Matters

At 360 Construction, we believe outdoor spaces should feel just as intentional as what’s inside. This custom railing project proves that safety features can still carry style—especially when they’re made with attention to detail and built to last. Whether we’re fabricating outdoor rail systems or full backyard upgrades, we bring the same level of care to every job across Lakeway and greater Austin.
