Custom railings are heavy, and shipping costs can add up fast. Save money by picking up your order directly from our Minneapolis shop.
At Paul Kraft MPLS, we handcraft custom cable railing systems in-house for homeowners, builders, and contractors across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and beyond. If you’re within a few hours of Minneapolis, local pickup may be a practical way to reduce freight costs and get your project moving faster.
Why Local Pickup Can Save You Money
Shipping large custom railing components can quickly increase the total cost of a project. Posts, top rails, and hardware are built to be strong and durable, but that also means freight costs can add up.
Choosing local pickup can help reduce:
- Shipping costs on heavy railing components
- Oversized freight charges
- Delivery delays and scheduling issues
- Waiting on large shipments
- Extra handling or re-delivery concerns
For nearby customers, pickup can be one of the simplest ways to save money.
Who Should Consider Picking Up at Our Minneapolis Shop?
If you’re within driving distance of Minneapolis, shop pickup may make sense for your project.

- Paul
- Brainerd
- Duluth

Whether you’re building a new deck, upgrading stair railings, or completing a full outdoor renovation, pickup may help keep project costs lower.
Minneapolis-Made Custom Cable Railings
At Paul Kraft MPLS, we are not a mass-produced railing supplier.
Every railing system is built with craftsmanship, precision, and real-world installation in mind. Our custom cable railing systems are made in-house to help reduce guesswork and avoid common problems that can come with generic railing kits.
We regularly build railing systems for:
- Deck railings
- Stair railings
- Lake homes
- Cabins
- Remodels
- New construction
- Outdoor living projects
Our goal is simple: create custom railings that fit your project well and install with less hassle.
Our Simple Process
1. Share Your Project Details
Send photos, measurements, and basic layout information.
2. We Build Your Custom Components
Posts, hardware, and top rails are fabricated based on your project needs.
3. Install Structural Components
Customers install the posts and top rail first.
4. Send Final Cable Measurements
Once everything is installed, final cable measurements are sent in.
5. We Cut and Prepare the Cables
Cables are cut to exact project measurements and prepared for final shipment or pickup.
This process helps eliminate mistakes, wasted material, and unnecessary DIY frustration.
Faster Access to Your Order
For many Minnesota and Wisconsin customers, local pickup also means more control.
Benefits may include:
- Pickup on your schedule
- No waiting for freight delivery windows
- Less shipping uncertainty
- Faster access to materials
- Easier coordination for contractors and installers
If your project is nearby, picking up at our Minneapolis shop can be a practical advantage.
