Steel to wood connection? I need help.

Mga sir patulong naman po regarding sa detail ng connection ng steel balusters sa wooden treads. Paano po pala yung detail ng connection nila? Pinadesign po kasi sa akin ng tita ko yung stairs nilang papunta sa attic eh di ko po alam i-detail kung papaano ikakabit yung steel na 2"x2"x1/4" Structural tubing sa wooden treads. Gusto po kasi nila na bakal yung balusters tapos wood yung handrails at yung mismong stairs. Pati na rin po yung detail ng connection ng balusters sa wooden handrail. Maraming salamat po.

Thanks for the reply sir, mga ano pong size ng screw ang gagamitin? Thank you very much po!

check thickness of tread

Thank you very much po!

For a much simpler look, mortise your tread and handrail, insert the balusters and make sure it fits exactly... maganda ito kung mamahaling hardwood ang tread and handrail mo.

Thank you very much po for your idea sir.

Another idea is gawin mo in steel, tapos sandwich mo ng wood ang support, tapos may nabibiling wood handrail, yun ang gamitin mo. kahit exposed ang steel ok lang. mas industrial ang dating. That way, you won't have a connection problem.

Maraming salamat mga sir sa pagdaan, I appreciate it. Bale po I'll settle for the welded flat bar to the balusters which are screwed to the treads, mas simple po kasi tapos mag innovate nalang ako ng paraan para dun sa 'cap thing' para di makita yung mga screws. Tapos hanap nalang ako ng wooden handrails na sinuggest ni sir Bokkins. Thank you very much po sa mga suggestion niyo, it helped me a lot. Thank you CGP!

Try mo yung 2x4 ng weather wood or yung matwood na handrail. Ang kinagandahan ng weather wood, pwede sa outdoor. ang matwood naman, nakapormang handrail na.

Thank you po sir dito.

baka mas maganda boss kung sa side mo na lang ng stringer iattach ang mga railings para mas rigid pa..otherwise kung prefab naman ,just drill ahole then lagyan mo na lang ng liquid nail(kung available)then add skirting to cover the hole

Thank you sir for the idea.

1- gawa ka ng inner square tubing na my base plate 4 to 5cm height, screw to wooden tread then ipasok mo yung main square tubing butasan mo sa gilid 6mm para ma welding & grind. 2- lagyan mo ng plate yung square tubing na my kasama nut. butasan mo yung wooden thread kasing sukat ng bolt. doon mo ipasok yung bolt para pg attach ng square tubing, yung bolt e ressesd mo para malagyan mo ng wood cover. (bolt sa ilalim ng tread) sana makatulong.

Maraming salamat po sa suggestion niyo sir, posibleng magagamit ko po ito. Thank you po.
