For Three Generations the Holmes Family
has handcrafted Decorative Log Railings throughout the Rocky Mountain
Region. John
& Deb Holmes have made their home in Estes Park, Colorado, for nearly two decades.
John's knowledge and experience can be evidenced through the many log railing
projects seen throughout our mountain community.
Over the years the process has
stayed the same ... Starting
out with select lodgepole pine poles and an old fashioned drawknife. Although we
do also offer machine peeled poles, the rustic look of the drawknife lends to
the mountain flare most customers have grown to request. We can offer a variety
of diameter sizes for the balusters and posts, as well as various sizes for
tenons ... making each project unique to our customer's preference. 
Tenon's sizes available: 1 ½”, 2”, 2 ½”, 3
5/8”, 4
5/8”.
We use a secure mortise and tenon assembly
on all of our log railing sections. All balusters meet standard spacing
codes and have their tenons centered for a better fit. Careful
considerations is given to a tight fit that reduces rotting from moisture. Each
baluster is secured with corrosion resistant screws; which makes installation of
railing sections easier when done by a contractor or homeowner. As
an option we can also drill weep holes through the bottom footrails to expell
any excess moisture that can cause rotting.
