Anvil Ribby system
Ribby might not be a brand-new concept, but it brings a host of fresh ideas to the world of pipe construction. This versatile system consists of a range of bends and joints that make it easy to create an endless variety of projects—simply by adding straight pieces of pipe.
Designed around a standard 32mm pipe with a 1.6mm wall thickness, Ribby allows for smooth, easy assembly. The pipe slides over the connectors with ease, making setup quick and hassle-free. If you opt for pipes with a 2mm wall thickness, they may require a little more force to fit. However, a quick pass with a file to smooth out the inside seam can make the process even easier.
To ensure your constructions stay sturdy and secure, you can use screws, rivets, or even weld the joints together for added durability.
While we offer some initial ideas to help get you started, the potential applications for Ribby are truly endless. Whether you’re building a frame, a stand, or any other creative structure, the only limit is your imagination.
We’d love to see what you create! Feel free to share photos of your projects with us—we’re excited to hear from you and see the innovative ways you’re using Ribby.
Handrails With RIBBY
Build, and Install Your Own Hand Railing: A Step Towards Safety and Accessibility
Creating your own hand railing is a practical and rewarding project to improve the safety and accessibility of your home. Whether you’re securing a walkway or adding support to stairs, a well-installed hand railing provides both safety and stability, especially for individuals who need assistance walking or climbing stairs. This simple yet effective addition can enhance mobility, reduce the risk of falls, and offer a more secure environment for everyone.
Why Install a Hand Railing?
- Safety First: Hand railings offer crucial support for anyone navigating stairs or walkways. They help prevent slips and falls by providing something to hold onto, particularly for children, the elderly, and anyone with mobility challenges.
- Assistance for Those Who Need It: For individuals with difficulty walking or climbing stairs, a hand railing serves as a reliable aid. It can make the difference between struggling and moving confidently in and around your home.
- Home Value: Not only does a hand railing improve safety, but it also adds value to your home by enhancing its accessibility and overall appeal.
How to Design and Build a Hand Railing
- Planning: Begin by measuring the space where you want to install the railing. Consider the height, material, and design that best complements your existing home décor while ensuring strength and durability.
- Materials: Choose materials that fit your style and provide the necessary sturdiness, such as wood, metal, or PVC. Make sure the material you select is weather-resistant if installing outdoors.
- Design: Consider factors like the type of staircase or walkway, the number of steps, and the space around them. The hand railing should be comfortably positioned for easy grip, typically around 850 – 1000 mm above the ground.
- Installation: Mark the locations for your railing brackets, ensuring they are spaced evenly for solid support. Use appropriate tools like a drill, level, and screws to securely install the posts and railing.
By following these simple steps, you can craft a hand railing that adds both functionality and beauty to your home while ensuring the safety and comfort of those who need it most.
