The Stainless Steel Mirror-Finish Pool Rail Kit is a complete, ready-to-install pool entry handrail — everything needed to fit a professional-grade stainless steel pool rail is included in a single kit. The rail arrives pre-fabricated with two floor-mounted posts and a curved tubular handrail, pre-fitted with 12mm welded fixing pins. Installation requires no welding, cutting, or fabrication: drill 14mm holes at the required fixing points on the pool deck, half-fill each hole with Anchor Fix adhesive, and press the rail firmly into position. Once the adhesive cures, the rail is permanently and securely anchored to the deck — ready to use.
A pool entry handrail is not just a convenience — it is a safety requirement and a compliance consideration for most residential pools. A correctly installed handrail provides a secure grip for entering and exiting the water, reduces slip and fall risk on wet pool surrounds, and meets the safety expectations of most insurance and building compliance requirements for residential pool installations.
Manufactured in Grade 316 Marine Grade stainless steel with a mirror polish finish — the only appropriate specification for a poolside installation. Grade 316 contains molybdenum, which provides the additional corrosion resistance needed to withstand constant exposure to chlorinated water, salt air, UV radiation, and the wet-dry cycles of a pool environment. A lower grade would corrode, discolour, and deteriorate at the waterline within a relatively short period — Grade 316 mirror is the professional and durable choice for any pool rail application.
The mirror polish finish complements the reflective quality of the water and produces a clean, premium appearance that enhances the overall look of the pool area. It is also the easiest finish to wipe clean and maintain in a poolside environment.
At R5,025.50, this kit represents significant value against the cost of a custom-fabricated and professionally installed pool rail — delivering the same professional result through a straightforward DIY installation that can be completed in a single session with basic tools.

Installation Note
Install on a clean, solid concrete or paving pool deck surface. Ensure fixing holes are drilled to the correct depth and spacing for the pre-fitted pin positions on the rail. Half-fill each hole with Anchor Fix adhesive before inserting the pins — do not overfill, as displaced adhesive will be difficult to remove from the pool deck surface once cured. Do not apply load to the rail until the adhesive has fully cured for your conditions — cure time is temperature dependent, ranging from approximately 40 minutes at 25°C–30°C to 2–3 hours in cooler conditions.
