Composite railings only - not for the squeemish..
From the start : £1,400 worth of composite balustrades and railings. Ordering was easy - Delivery was prompt and delivery driver (Dino's own van) was courteous and obliging. I decided to try and build these myself, rather than getting a professional, but building the railings is a nightmare... no instructions (although i was given a very basic diagram when i emailed and asked). I had to figure out what the spacing was, and measure out all the places where it was to be drilled. Why not either provide a template or even some guidance?? No relevant marks on the rails to help and no YouTube video. Eventually i had to make up a jig, which helped a lot. And when i built the sections up, many of them fell to bits as i moved them into place, as they aren't held together with anything but gravity. Very frustrating. Also be aware that all the supplied screws require a T15 torx bit, rather than a normal phillips. However, after a lot of cursing and a lot of trial and error, i managed to build them and to be fair they do look good, and the final result is ok, but if i had to do it again, i would likely look for an alternative.
