Garvee Pool Rail 30"x 22" 304 Stainless Steel 250LBS Load Capacity Silver Rustproof Pool Handrail for Swimming Pool with Blue Grip Cover & Accessories

Now that I'm getting older, I now need a handrail so wife (and me) can get out of the pool easily.This one is the perfect height and length.My deck is concrete, so that is always a challenge, but I have various concrete drill bits that made fairly short work of it. I was not able to use the 12 mm bit provided as it requires as SDS chuck. (And it is a different size than my SDS chuck.The bolts are metric, but the hole size in the mounting plate allowed match drilling with a 3/8 inch bit to mark the locations. I also used a 1/4 inch bit to quickly drill a pilot hole and then a 1/2 inch instead of the 12 mm (0.472 inch) bit. The bolts still fit tightly and I had to use my 1/2 inch breaker bar with a 13 mm socket to install the bolts. They did supply a wrench, but I couldn't come close to generating the required torque with it.The railing is in 3 pieces that are assembled with 6 beveled screws and the screwdriver/wrench combo supplied. Once I was able to get them started, they could easily be finger tightened all the way.Using the screwdriver to do final tightening only required an 1/8 to 1/4 turn to fully tighten.

This handrail was easy to install and provides a safe and sturdy support for swimmers. Everything you need is included. I would strongly recommend using a socket to bolt it in place, rather than the small wrench that comes with it.

Not to hard to install. Didn't have to drain my pool down. But a little wobbly, just from the connected pieces. Holds well to walk up stairs.

Love it. Woks as it should be easy installation.

We wanted just a small assist to get in and out of the pool without it being too intrusive. This turned out to be just the right size for our pool and its a great addition

It’s to use. I no longer feel unsafe.

We are impressed. It's a commercial grade device. Thick and perfectly welded. Be true on your holes because otherwise you'll be elongating. Wrap is nice too. Should last a few years in the Florida sun inside the lanai. Zero deflection when trying. Very strong. Tie the Hindenburg to it kind of strong.

The drill bit that comes with this has a square shank, so it doesn't work easily with standard drill/driver. It also drills a hole that is smaller than the anchor points, so you have to bore out the hole a little more to get the anchors into place. We anchored 2 into brick and 2 into concrete along our pool edge, all 4 locations feeling very secure.Aside from the drilling, everything else went really well, the end result looks pretty professional and feels very sturdy. I'm not sure if the anchors/bolts are stainless or zinc coated steel, and I don't love the white bolt head caps, but I think they are there as a protection to your feet in case you step on one. The blue rail cover velcros into place, it was also easily installed [sorry, no picture of that].

I waited a while buying a pool rail thinking it was going to be obtrusive, but decided to pull the trigger on this one. I like the size, and design of rail. Installation was fairly simple although I had to buy a bigger power drill from harbor freight for about $35, because mine would not fit the drill bit it came with. Just take your time and mark your holes so it’s nice and even. I ended up putting a bead of clear silicone where the metal base meets the deck. It came with the sleeve cover which I am not crazy about how it looks, and it’s starting to fade after just a month or so in the hot sun. Probably will need to replace every year or so. But it definitely beats getting your had burned getting out of the pool.

Everything seems great with the railing and bolts with respect to the stainless material and sturdiness for a great price. I have brick pavers on the pool deck so I mounted the rail on the top pool step which is submerged in the water. Because the metal anchors that are threaded for the fasteners to grab on to were not stainless steel, they started rusting almost immediately, staining the pool surface around the base of the railing. Now I need to come up with a fix to either remove the rail, remove the metal anchors, treat the stained areas with a rust remover and reinstall the rail using plastic anchors. I assume that the manufacturer made the assumption that the railing would mount on the pool deck, but would it have been that much more effort to just make the metal anchors stainless steel to prevent the issue that I am having? Afterall, the railing and bolts are stainless steel. Why not make everything stainless since it is in a wet environment whether mounted on the pool deck or on the first step?
