How difficult is this project?

This project is: INTERMEDIATE - ADVANCED

The process of installing aluminum handrail on Signature Series posts requires careful measurement and attention to detail.  Most handrail layouts are straight-forward, but advanced skills may be required for complex handrail joints.

Nothing says modern elegance like Signature Series posts and matching reinforced aluminum handrail. Designed to meet IRC standards for graspability, aluminum handrail requires minimal maintenance, and the slim profile offers a cleaner, clearer view. Handrail is available in 93" sections that piece together with structural splines, allowing for longer, continuous spans.
