Re: Deck Hand Rail

I have never used it for handrailing, but it sure seems like it would be to flimsy for such. Interested to see any experiences from others.

Re: Deck Hand Rail

Although I'm a big fan of Azek, - - I'd push something else here, - - it's flimsy, non-supportive, dimensionally unstable, and attracts hand-prints.

Azek is much better served as an 'outer' material on a solid base . . .
