Attic Guard Rail ⚠️ about home HOT 7 OPEN

We were originally going to put glass there but very happy with you building it out of steel and painting glossy white (keen for it to be somewhat evident and reflect light appropriately.

This works well!

I will get the space cleared up so that we can get our workman to paint it and clear up the walls on a dreary day 👌

The attic landing is a bit of a mess because of the re-org but this is the frame I put together:

Heading back down to the workshop to drill the mounting holes 🕳️

I will leave it fully prepped to be painted at a later date. But since we don’t have the paint in stock it’s unlikely I will be able to finish everything today. ⏳

Holes drilled, child safety (thin) tubes welded in place at 12 cm interval (no child can fit through this gap) and rough-finished for initial install:

going to take it upstairs now to mark the holes for drilling. ⏳

@iteles I've done a test install:

it’s nowhere near “finished” but is already functional; a child can’t fall through the gap. 👌

feedback requested. 🙏

I've done the work so far and can easily finish it with T1h of finishing & painting.
Just have to dedicate the time to it and not do other things.
As noted above, this is no longer a life-threatening P1 issue.

@iteles please provide some quick feedback on the design & functionality of the rail.
if you think it’s viable, should it be painted white?
If you think it should I could get this done ASAP so we can close the issue. 💭
