They Fit!

Think these will be wonderful to protect and beautify our deck at home and at the vacation home. Wish they came in just slightly longer lengths to accommodate the nominal lengths lumber is sold at. Also wish they came in white.

Handrail Covers Good

The handrail covers will be great over the long term compared to the original treated lumber it replaced. The lumber leaked sapped regularly, even after being stained. I gave it 4 stars because it does get hot in direct sunlight. However the nice, smooth texture on your hand is far better than the splintering wood. My staircase now has an appealing look. Thanks
