Deckorators
I just received the Deckorators sales kit and samples. Pretty impressive. Only thing missing is their full size column covers, though there are samples of the stone.
With all the various sales kits I have picked up in the last year, I need a new truck to transport them.

Re: Deckorators
done a ton of deckorators, nothing but great things to say about their entire product line, zero issues
 only gripe is with the coating on the insides of the collars and baskets and more angle options for the stair baluster connectors rail connector is the best thing since sliced bread |

Re: Deckorators
That is the railing connector we use for our DCL railing system as well - they make them for us.
Chris if you have customer service issues ask for Doc Meston, he is a can-do individual. |

Re: Deckorators
I like the convenience of the connectors a bit... I dont like the look of them whatsoever.

Re: Deckorators
They are ugly when sandwiched between 2 different colors of composite. I will admit then when I was using them they ONLY had black. I have seen someone use red baluster with red baluster connectors on cedar color composite with BLACK rail connectors... Tell me that looks good?
