Winter Is Coming: Why Now Is the Time to Install Railings for Safety

As the crisp air settles in and leaves begin to fall, it’s a clear sign that winter is on its way. For homeowners and property managers, this seasonal shift brings more than just cozy sweaters and holiday prep—it’s a crucial time to think about safety. At Weld 8 Craftsman, we specialize in custom railings that not only elevate your space but also protect it.

Slips, Trips, and Falls: A Seasonal Risk

Winter weather in Minnesota can be unpredictable. Ice, snow, and wet conditions dramatically increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls—especially on stairs, porches, and walkways. Railings are a simple yet powerful solution to prevent accidents and ensure peace of mind for your family, guests, or tenants.

Whether it’s a sleek modern design or a rugged industrial look, our railings are built to last and designed to blend seamlessly with your space.

Why Act Now?

The process of designing, fabricating, and installing custom railings takes time—typically about four weeks from the moment you say “go” to final installation. That means if you want your railings in place before the first snowfall, now is the time to start.

Here’s what the timeline looks like:

  1. Week 1: Consultation & Design
    We meet with you to understand your needs, take measurements, and finalize the design.

  2. Week 2: Fabrication Begins
    Our team gets to work crafting your custom railings with precision and care.

  3. Week 3: Finishing Touches
    Powder coating, quality checks, and prep for installation.

  4. Week 4: Installation
    Our crew installs your railings, ensuring everything is secure and up to code.

Don’t Wait for the Ice

Every year, we hear from clients who wish they had acted sooner. Once the snow hits, installation becomes more difficult—and the risk of injury increases. By starting now, you’ll be ready before the freeze and can enjoy a safer, more stylish space all season long.
