FibroPool Stainless Steel Pool Handrail with Easy Mount Base Plate for In Ground Pools, Outdoor Railing for Decks, Rust-Proof Grab Accessories for Swimming Pools and Spas (Small)

Very pleased! We've needed a grab rail for several years. We didn't want one that was too big and get in the way of the walk area or one that looked gross or out of place. Then it was researching what type of installation. We didn't want to drill monster holes in the deck to install. We weren't sure about this "easy install" rail and how sturdy it would be but took a chance and ordered it. There really wasn't any reviews to read - only one that said nothing but gave it five stars. It has four bolts with Molly screws and washers. No instructions but none really needed. We took the grab rail and lined it up to the left of the pool steps till we decided the best placement. Then took a pencil and mark the four holes on the deck with the grab rail still in place - then put the rail to the side. My husband borrowed a hammer drill and drilled the four holes using a 5/16 drill bit - we vacuumed out the concrete dust from the holes - tapped the mollies into the holes -positioned the rail over the holes and screwed in the bolts. When all four screws were in place we tightened them down. Done! Took about 10 minutes. We tested it for any wiggle - pulled with our weight from inside the pool - hanging on it - tugging on it - just to make sure. It's sturdy and safe! It's made extremely well - the welds are flawless on the base and it was exactly what we needed. Had we known it was going to be such a simple thing we would've put this in a few years ago. We pondered the idea for several years not wanting to tackle a big job around the pool. This was as easy as handing a picture frame. The size and look of this rail in unobtrusive. After installing we had and after thought about the neoprene rail cover. This rail is thick stainless steel and here in Las Vegas, NV., it gets really hot! So we ordered the four foot rail cover from Rail Grip here on the Amazon site - which came two days later. It fit perfect on this grab rail like they where made to go together. I highly recommend ordering the two together. We feel so much better having a sturdy, safe grab rail with a rail cover so no one gets burned. It's perfect!

The media could not be loaded. If your box comes a little beat up don't worry! Enclosed you will find a very sturdy stainless steel railing. Look carefully for the hardware which may be attached to the base or the card board shipping box. Be patient drilling your holes. I would suggest putting a piece of colored tape on the drill bit so your holes are at the correct depth. If you make a template for the holes you job will be absolutely perfect and you eill be done in short time. Tighten bolts snuggly but do not over tighten. You will end up with a job you are proud of and will last forever. It is an extremely sturdy and will handle more than advertised. Enjoy your railing as much as we do!

Received and installed today. Rented a hammer drill with a drill bit, even though a 1/2” masonry bit was included with the rail. The rental place wouldn’t allow the bit that came with the rail to be used.An earlier review talked about plastic expansion pieces - they are now metal and work great.

The product is very sturdy and equals the description. The packaging was missing the installing materials. I called the company Monday morning and can't say enough about the great customer service.

Nice quality and great price. Looks good at my pool. Very study when installed and we have received many compliments on how nice it is to have it there. Makes getting into the pool easy and safe. The only think I would improve would be to include a small pilot drill bit in the package so that a pilot hole could be drilled into the concrete that would allow a good purchase for the included 1/2 inch drill bit to bite into. When I tried to use just the 1/2 bit, it bounced around on me and that led me to damage the concrete and have a hole that was not centered. For my remaining three holes. I used a smaller concrete bit and drilled the pilot holes first and then the 1/2 holes were drilled on top of those and I ended up with a nice clean and centered hole for the lead anchors to insert into.

That first step down was getting a little rough for me (knees are aging rapidly) and I found this railing. Loved the fact that it's all above water. We borrowed a hammer drill and bit from a friend - the included bit didn't fit. A template for the four holes would be a HUGE help. As it was, I held the fairly top-heavy rail on the uneven pool deck surface as my husband marked the holes.Also - do as the instructions suggest, and blow the dust away. He didn't, and mistook a pit in the decking for a mark. A mark that was 1/2" off. That meant drilling a new hole immediately adjacent and filling the first one with a stick and some caulk.Maybe use a colored pen or pencil to mark the holes?Anyway, it's in and we love it. I've tried repeatedly to upload a photo, with no success. Will try again.Pros: looks great, solid, relatively uncomplicated to install.Cons: A template would be nice. Get a good graphic artist to clean up and better organize the instructions, and there would be room on the same page.

I Bought this pool railing with a little skepticism as the price seemed to low for the quality advertised. I was wrong the rail is outstanding in every way,It is perfect for easing entry and exiting the pool. as I get a little older. the installation was a breeze > Using a hammer drill and a 3/8"masonry bit the set up and installation took less than 15 minutes It is worth noting that the supplied stainless screws and plastic anchors were more than adequate and unlike some other reviews I found no need to buy lead anchors,or redheads. It is incredibly sturdy and equals the solid feel of the rails on the previous deep set railings of my last pool. At this price if I was a little younger I"d be setting up a pool railing aftermarket installation business With normal pool installation costs of $400 to $600 dollars.it would be an easy sell. I don't usually write reviews but this product is to good not to share
