Built for Strength. Designed to Belong.

At North Idaho Post & Pole, we design and manufacture custom handrailing and stair components that feel like they were always meant to be there. Whether the setting is a log home, post-and-beam structure, commercial space, or rustic remodel, our railings and stairs combine structural integrity, safety, and natural beauty.

Every project is built to order, using real Lodgepole Pine timber and traditional craftsmanship — not off-the-shelf parts.

Handcrafted Log Handrails

Our handrails are made from carefully selected logs and timbers, shaped and finished to complement both rustic and refined interiors. From straight runs to curves, we build handrails that meet code requirements while maintaining the natural character of the wood.

Handrail options include:

Solid log handrails
Machine Peel or Machine Peel/Hand peel finishes
Untreated or treated wood
Interior and exterior applications

These railings are commonly used in:

Log homes and cabins
Post-and-pole structures
Lodges and retreats
Restaurants, offices, and public spaces

Custom Stair Systems & Components

Stairs are more than a way to get from one level to another — they’re a focal point. We will supply custom stair components to be drilled and installed by your staff on sight. We are unable to drill any product for stair handrail. Our Handrail is designed to integrate seamlessly with your structure, whether you’re constructing new or upgrading an existing space.

We work with builders, architects, and property owners to supply:

Built for Residential & Commercial Projects

Our handrailing and stair products are used in a wide range of environments, including:

Private residences
Vacation rentals and cabins
Retail, office buildings and parks
Hospitality and dining spaces

Whether the goal is rugged, refined, or somewhere in between, we tailor each piece to the project — not the other way around.

Materials & Craftsmanship

We work with Lodgepole Pine, selected for its strength, workability, and visual warmth.

Each piece is:

Doweled for consistency
Custom-fit to your specifications
Built to last in real-world use

Weep Holes

We have been supplying handrails for many years. Over the years we have learned a couple of important lessons. If your handrail is to be exposed to the weather, we recommend adding “weep holes” into your bottom rail. As the moisture accumulates on the pickets and rails, the weep holes allow the water to escape. Causing your handrail to have a longer life.
