D4D049 Deck to Deck Mounted 4 Bend Stainless Steel 304 Stair Rail

We love our in-ground pool, but as we've gotten older we realized a handrail would help us enter and exit more safely. We chose this specific product for its shape, the fact that it is deck-mounted (thus not compromising the interior surface of the pool), and for its overall value.I perhaps unfairly gave only 3 stars for "Easy to install" ... but this something best left to a pro. We had the handrail installed as part of an overall refurbishing of our 20-year-old pool. Installation requires a separate set of anchors be set in the concrete pool deck. The pros had the right tools and the expertise to the job correctly.I am 100% satisfied with our new handrail. The cost is very reasonable, the quality is first-rate, and it was delivered in less than a week.

I would give it 5 stars but the installation drops it to 4 stars. Drilling into concrete is the biggest problem. If the drill jumps out of position there is no play on the flang. You must lineup direct with the holes or you have problems. Maybe if the holes were elliptical it would be more forgiving. I had a problem with one hole but once it was corrected it is in there solid. Hardware is stainless steel also.

The 4 star rating is the average of the 5 stars for the way Amazon handled the installation issues I had and the 3 stars for the product itself. I was encouraged to purchase this handrail by viewing the installation video that is part of the ad for the product. Although I hired a professional contractor (who also watched the video) with the appropriate tools and skills, it took him and his partner 5 hours, a few extra holes that had to be filled, and several broken drilling bits to properly anchor the railing to the pool deck. My cement pool deck is about 20+ years old and has lots of rock chips imbedded in the cement. The railing looks great and seems to be securely attached to the deck, but I suggest getting good help and a price guarantee for the installation! Fortunately, Amazon gave me a price reduction to help cover some of the unexpected installation cost.

This handrail was exactly what I was hoping for. I would highly recommend it. It is very sturdy. Be sure to order the anchors (sold separately) as it does not come with it if only order the handrail.

Although I was not able to use these rails I will say they are very well built and are very sturdy. I would recommend them.

The rail itself seems like a good product. BUT there were no installation instructions! And I only discovered that we also needed to buy the mounting sockets (separately) by accident. So poor product description and the lack of any kind of installation information makd=es me downgrade it to a 3.

It works great just doesn't have hardware with it.

Very nice hand rail. Stainless looks good and is very sturdy.
