Customer Reviews for VEVOR Pool Rail 54x36 Pool Railing 304 Stainless Steel 250LBS Load Capacity Silver Rustproof Pool Handrail Humanized Swimming Pool Handrail with Blue Grip Cover & M8 Drill Bit & Self-Taping Screws

Terrific addition to our 20 yr. pool. Very stable. High quality. Contrary to some reviews, the cheap looking anchor sleeves work incredibly well in concrete or brick. Were you to hit rebar, I think the anchors would still work great even if they were 1" shorter. The drill bit supplied (12mm; so do not use a 1/2" bit) does not fit domestic hammer drills, but I cut off the end and the bit drilled very well (pilot with 1/4" bit). Need a ratchet socket to install lag screws; go slow to reduce heat friction. Hope this helps.

The item does what it is supposed to do on the side of a pool very well. The trouble is in the installation. The drill bit that comes with it is not for a $60.00/$80.OO drill but you need a real rotary drill/hammer. Once you use that be ready for a real drilling work. So the item is excellent but the installation on a concrete surface is a major work.

Very easy to install. Very Solid. Looks like this will be a great purchase. Installed at a beach house. We will see how it handles the salt air.

Initial quality seems good. The drill bit doesn’t have a slotted (Bosch style) shank, so it didn’t work in my hammer drill. And big box stores don’t carry the metric size needed (12mm). I was able to find one online, though.The “wrench” it comes with is pretty flimsy, but at least it’s a 13mm, which is akin to 1/2 inch, a very common size.I was actually impressed with the screw sleeves that it comes with. They’re metal, not plastic, and seem to hold quite well. Just make sure you use a 12mm drill bit.

This was one of the easiest projects for the pool! I would only make 2 suggestions to the manufacturer: 1) include a rubber gasket and 2) include a paper template to mark the holes. I bought some thin rubber material and cut my a gasket to fit between the concrete deck and mounting plate. I believe it makes the whole thing more stable and I know it helped any gaps due to the holes being slightly off center. Otherwise, so far it has been a wonderful addition.

Easy installation nice looking

This was exactly what I was looking for. Once I secured a strong hammer drill for the concrete holes required, the installation was easy. It now looks nice and works well.

Getting in and out of pool.

Please excuse the plastic stair rail in the picture, The metal bar is perfect, just be sure to have a cement drill bit if you are installing the rail yourself. In the future I plan to use this rail when I get permanent stairs installed.

Listen, with the right tools & a can-do attitude, you really can do way more than you think! I come from a construction upbringing, so I grew up around tools, but you can't use what you don't have.1. Buy a decent Hammer Drill. Your household drill will not work for this. I ordered this B&D from Amazon & thanks to next day delivery I didn't have a long delay!2. Buy a decent drill bit (or 2) made for concrete. I went to a big box hardware store to buy these and it was worth the extra time & small expense. *A drill bit IS included w/this product, but it was worn down before I even got 1/2" into the concrete and that was with a lot of manual force behind the drill. I probably wasted at least 2 hours trying to use the provided drill bit, but after buying a true concrete bit, I was done drilling in less than 30 minutes!3. Have a shop vac nearby to vacuum up the concrete dust.4. Post up an umbrella, keep ice water close by and get drilling! (Drilling into concrete in the hot Texas sun in July was no picnic, but I was sure proud of myself when I was done, and I only had a wee little headache!)This product is incredibly sturdy. The nylon sleeve that secures around the handrail is easy to install and definitely protects delicate hands from sun-scorched metal. This has a relatively small profile so for a backyard pool it was exactly what I wanted. Not so large to get in the way of the dogs running laps around the pool, but strong enough to support weight when my Aunt would get in and out of the pool.And it did just that! I bought this the week of my family cruise & my 75 year old Aunt was coming to stay w/our dogs, but I wanted her to feel comfortable getting in and out of the pool and I didn't want to worry while we were away.This was literally the answer to my prayers, she was so happy & used the pool 3 times that week! Thank you for a reasonably priced solution!
