ADU Railings

Accessory dwelling units or ADU’s are self contained single family dwelling units and they are quickly becoming one of the most popular building trends. Housing shortages and high cost of living have made these accessory units all the more desirable and many municipalities have even lifted restrictions and loosened zoning regulations to promote their construction. Although small in size; 150 – 1000 square feet; ADU’s are not tiny homes and the primary usage is as an additional dwelling on a single family lot; complimentary to a main residence. Pre-Fab Railing Packages for ADU’s Pre – fabricated and/or modular dwelling unit packages can simplify the construction process and some municipalities even have pre-made plan sets for accessory dwelling units. Pre-fab railing packages fit nicely into this scenario; also simplifying the process and allowing consumers to value engineer the build and streamline planning and preparation for construction.
