Whether you’re replacing outdated spindles or creating a discussion focal point of artwork in the home, this heavy‑duty steel panel delivers an instant architectural upgrade with unmatched craftsmanship.

Why NatureRails Outperforms Standard Railing

Most metal retail railings feel flimsy and look generic. NatureRails panels are engineered for luxury, longevity, and structural integrity:

• Ultra‑Thick 10‑Gauge Steel — Approximately 8 lbs per linear foot for exceptional strength and durability.
• Commercial‑Grade Finish — Sandblasted, acid‑cleaned, and powder‑coated for maximum adhesion and long‑term resistance to rust, UV exposure, and harsh weather.
• Safety‑Focused Design — Engineered with maximum 4" spacing to meet residential and commercial building code requirements.
• Artist‑Led Craftsmanship — Designed by Rob Gerdin, whose nature‑inspired artwork has been trusted by architects and builders for over two decades.

🗽Proudly Made in the USA

NatureRails panels are designed, cut, finished, and powder‑coated in Florida using true American craftsmanship. Every piece reflects our commitment to U.S. artistry, domestic fabrication, and long‑lasting architectural quality.

Handcrafted Quality & Lead Time

Every panel is made to order and individually handcrafted.

Typical lead time: 6–8 weeks.

Your panel goes through a full artisan fabrication process:

• Precision CNC cutting
• Hand finishing and edge refinement
• Sandblasting for superior coating adhesion
• Acid‑bath cleaning
• Application of your selected powder‑coat color
• Final inspection and protective packaging for safe transport

This ensures a premium, architectural‑grade product built to last for decades.

• Deck and balcony railing frames
• Interior loft and staircase railings
• Custom metal gates and entryways
• Decorative privacy wall inserts

Measuring Tip:
Measure the clear opening width between your posts. Provide the exact measurement so your panel fits perfectly.

🛡️Care & Maintenance

Your powder‑coated finish is extremely durable. For best results:

• Clean with mild soap and water
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals
• Inspect annually for scratches or impact marks
• Touch up any exposed metal to maintain long‑term protection

Panels typically last 20–30+ years with proper care.

📦Shipping & Packaging

Each NatureRails panel is:

• Wrapped in protective cellophane
• Shipped via private carriers for best service and minimal packaging waste
• Fully insured for transport

Tracking and delivery instructions are provided once your panel ships.

🛠️Optional Welding Upgrades (Not Included With This Product)

If you want integrated hand/foot rails, mounting tabs, or heavy‑duty hardware added directly to your artwork panel, we offer premium welding upgrades by request.

Please note: NatureRails specializes in infills only and no longer builds standalone posts or full railing systems.

To add welding options, please ensure:

• Existing Framework: Wood posts should be installed before finalizing the order.
• Required Measurements: Provide exact width and installation height. With frames, a 30" product becomes a 33" vertical height rail, and with a 3" gap at the base, it meets the required 36" height in most U.S. states.
• Base Gap Preference: Choose a standard 4" building‑code gap or a lower 3" gap for small‑pet safety.

How to Get Started:
Email project photos, measurements, and design preferences to info@naturerails.com so we can tailor welding options to your exact specifications. We can add frames, tabs, or hardware to any item ordered.
