Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Does anyone know of someone who has some used railings for sale? I want to put railings around the top of my Party Hut sundeck but can't seem to find any. Also while I'm asking, what does everyone use for wire moulding? I'd like to clean up the look of the wires on the ceiling of my wheelhouse.

Thanks

This is not used, but I have had great luck mail ordering from them. Their prices seem to be in line, especially when you should have little waste.

I saw that and it would be perfect but it would be quite a trick getting it from Maryland to Florida.

How about unconventional? Have you given it any consideration...
Sturdy, vinyl and available at your local big box lumberyard.

I love it, great idea. Thanks loads,

I forgot about that Bamby! That looks awesome!

Got a PM requesting installation of the railing and since it ain't propitiatory I'll reply to it here:

Bamby, I was looking at your railing set-up and wondered how you attached it tio the deck. I just got a party hut and would like to burrow your idea for my upper sun deck.

Thanks

There is a apx. 2x2 steel post insert with a base plate welded to it that bolts down through the deck. As it comes it accepts four bolts for fasteners. I also made up four additional plates out of some heavy scrap aluminum for a base plate below the deck. The goal here was to prevent any fasteners from pulling through the plywood should should someone loose their balance or whatever and come against the railing hard for some reason.

Once the insert in bolted down securely there are two polycarbonate sleeves that are utilized one slides down and rests against the base the post is then slid into it and the other one is then inserted into the top of the post into the top of the steel insert. What makes this all secure is now when you assemble the railings into the posts the fasteners will now go though the the vinyl posts and then embedding themselves into the polycarbonate sleeves for a sure secure hold to keep the railing in place.

PS, I'm thinking I got everything at home dept but it's been awhile.
