Your pool plan is almost complete. As you put the finishing
touches on the blueprints, the installation and placement of your pool handrails can be an afterthought; however, adequately placed railings can
ensure the guest of all ages can enjoy your pool!
Handrails for getting in and out of the pool, seem like a relatively
customary accessory to install. During
your pool construction, what looks like a routine process can leave you
treading water if not correctly placed and anchored. You’d
be amazed how often contractors want to install rails at the center of your
pool steps. While this may seem ideal aesthetically,
it decreases safety and function.
Placing the handrail off-center allows you to exit the pool up the
middle of the steps while grabbing the railing with your outside hand. This is the perfect spot. Any individual would benefit from having a
sturdy anchor to lean on when entering or exiting a pool!
When choosing a material for your handrails, stainless steel
is a sound choice. Resisting corrosion
in even the most acidic, chlorine-bearing environments is what stainless steel
does best. The bright and shining
surface is attractive and easy to maintain, even in the strictest hygienic
conditions. To clean up, you can use any
glass cleaner and cloth. Don't use steel
wool to remove tight spots; instead, occasionally apply a Scotchbrite pad and a
nonabrasive commercial cleaner.
Don't get stranded in your pool. Install stainless steel pool handrails that
offer longevity, durability, and easy maintenance for safety and enjoyment for
years to come.
