GARVEE Pool Handrail 39"x32" Swimming Pool Stair Rail 304 Stainless Steel Rustproof Pool 250LBS Load Capacity Handrail for Inground Pool with Blue Grip Cover

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?

Very sturdy, arrived on time, and was easy to install.

Was easy to do, not sure I like the covers, smaller ones would be better. Love the ease of using it, I am 61 and have a hard time getting in and out.

When we built our pool 12 years ago. Due to the size of the pool and the layout of the small side steps we opted out of any handrails. Now that we’re a bit older we needed something to lean on getting in and out of the pool…mostly due to my vertigo issues. We took a chance ordering this thinking it would be flimsy at best. WELL!! Let me tell you, not only is it super strong and well built, but it came with everything we needed and my 70 year old husband installed it himself in less than an hour!! We figure any pool company would easily have charged us over $500 for the rail and install…we did it for $70!! Highly recommend!!

My husband was able to install the handrail easily and quickly. It's ery sturdy and I'm so happy to have it for my safety getting in and out of the pool!

Yes, the drill is useless, and yes, the cover fades immediately, but once in place, it really was just what we needed!
