Outvita Handrails for Outdoor Steps, Black Wrought Iron Handrail Fits 2 or 3 Steps, Transitional Handrail with Installation Kit, Stair Railing for Concrete Steps or Wooden Stairs

This railing is a great value for the money and looks very nice on my porch.

This is a decent handrail for the $$. I didn't like that once the plate cover were one it made it difficult to install the bolts. I used tapcons screws much easier. Overall, for the money it's a nice handrail. Also, I wish the bolts were painted white and not white caps.

Great product. I installed in the home of a client so that her sister could use it to steady herself as she enters down 3 stairs from her kitchen into her living room... Note that her sister had Parkinsons and is very unsteady on her feet... Gamechanger for her.

These look great and if placed correctly do well, I had a cement guy anchor them on my cement step, he used a hammer drill and cement drill bit. You may need to get other anchor screws because they are not great.

This railing is simple to assemble and is inexpensive. If your goal is to provide a safety feature that will last a few years, this is it. During installation, I found a few problem areas:(1) There are two small screws that hold the plastic inserts into the upper and lower vertical posts. These screws are not sized properly and do not tighten. By yourself four #8 x 1/2" stainless screws to replace them.(2) I agree with a previous reviewer that the concrete anchors that are included are not usable. They are 10 mm and require a 10mm masonry drill bit which is not included. You will not find a 10mm bit at Home Depot or Lowes. I purchased sixteen 3/8" x 2-1/4" concrete sleeve anchors as replacements and used my 3/8" masonry bit.(3) If you are attaching to wood, the installation will be easier. However, if concrete is your base, I suggest making a drilling template. Despite measuring thrice and marking the hole locations, the masonry bit will wander and if it is off by more than 1/8", you are screwed. There is little tolerance for error. I ended up test fitting the railing after each hole drilled and sure enough, my original marks were no good.(4) Unlike the description, this is NOT cast iron. It is thin sheet metal painted black. It scratches easily and you will probably scratch it during installation. I had to touch it up with a can of black spray paint after installation.(5) The balusters are not a tight fit and rattle. It remains to be seen if they will rattle in the wind.Overall, this is an inexpensive solution to a safety railing need. Were money no object, I would opt for actual cast iron.

Instructions say 12mm hole, however correct hole size was closer to 3/8ths (concrete). Upon acquiring hardware to fit the oversized holes and attempting installation, the rail sheared from it's bracket leaving it entirely useless. Upon seeing this, I can only assume that it would shear, like it had during installation, had someone slipped and attempted to brace themselves with this rail.

Easy to install. Sturdy and attractive.

For the price it does the job. I don’t see it lasting for 20 years but it looks nice and fits my current needs.
