I needed to replace the front porch balustrades on our 1894 Victorian home with architecturally authentic period spindles and rails. The existing balustrades were non-period, plain 2x2 sticks that detracted from the overall architecture of the house. I chose the Vintage Design 3x3 Spindles – architecturally similar to Victorian style. The actual dimension of the 3x3 spindle is 2x2. I spaced the spindles 2” apart, replicating the Victorian porch design. I used the Deluxe Handrails – Though not really original Victorian design, I was able to achieve the look by combining a 6” Deluxe handrail for the top rail and the 4” Deluxe handrail on the bottom provided a visually pleasing, vintage style. To provide a more balanced appearance, I added a 1x4 pine board between the top rail and the spindles. The Best Deck Railing Products Company is a hidden treasure in Millersburg, PA. I searched online for months for Victorian style spindles and found nothing under $22/spindle until I located Best Deck. At prices ranging from $1.30 - $3.30 /spindle, recreating the Victorian look was affordable. Materials cost about $450 for 110 spindles plus top and bottom rails. Shipping brought the total to $600 compared to the $3000 from every other site I researched. Best Deck Railing Products Company materials are of the highest quality – uniform, exact to specs, no flaws. The customer service and sales team were extremely helpful. The order was processed and delivered within 4 business days. This company is the genuine thing.
