How do I attach railings onto hollow concrete steps?
Currently renovating our front steps. And I can’t figure out the best way to do this due to my specific circumstances.
I've removed the old rusty railings, and I'd like to install new aluminum railings, but the challenge is that the steps are hollow concrete (about 1/2"thick walls). Because the concrete shell is too thin, I can't use standard concrete anchors like I would on solid poured steps.
Though, the old railings were in fact attached using some type of anchor and bolt, but I'm not entirely sure what was used since I removed them a while ago.
What would be the best way to securely install new railings in this situation?
