Customer reviews for 32-1/4 in. Bronze Aluminum Arch Baluster (14-Pack)

32-1/4 in. Bronze Aluminum Arch Baluster (14-Pack)

Can be used with wood and composite railing systems. More durable than wood balusters. They offer the look of hand-forged wrought iron with 1 in. diameter that provides maximum view from the deck. The arch balusters cost slightly more than wood balusters but they won't warp, split, or splinter like wood. Easy to install and maintain. Conveniently packaged in packs of 14, the recommended quantity for a 6 ft. on-center handrail. Expected lifetime 10 plus years or will last the lifetime of the deck.

I have purchased 5 sets of these and they are all the same quality and color. The only thing other than they are a little costly is that they come with exactly the correct number of screws.
Pros: Vibrant Color, High Quality of Material, Easy to Install, Stylish
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used these on my deck because I wanted aluminum material. They are excellent quality. I even accidentally ran over a package of them with my car and they were undamaged. They were easy install and look great. 1 of the 100 balusters had holes that were double drilled.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I installed these on my pressure treated wood deck. I didn't want 1x1 wood balusters (they weather very quickly, in my experience) so I went with these. These cost more, but I like the more upscale look they give to a wooden deck.
One word of advice: when I was about halfway through installing them (I put up about 100), my wife noticed that the arches that bow out weren't lining up when you looked at them from the side. It turns out that the flat sections on the top and bottom are slightly different lengths. I wish it was mentioned in the instructions, but they were easy enough to unscrew and put right-side up so they curves all matched (the screws holes are identical on the top and bottom). So, if you buy these, you can save yourself a few minutes and install them right the first time.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Purchased this product for a deck remodel and they fit the bill nicely. They look good and are easy to install. The product comes with everything you need to install it. Some of them were slightly bent but I was able to straighten them out and had no problems. I will be purchasing more of them to finish my remodel.
Pros: Alternative for Real Wood, Easy to Install, Easy to Clean, Light Weight
Yes, I recommend this product.

We were looking for an affordable option to build custom sized railing for our front porch. We have huge cypress columns but black aluminum lantern-like lights by the front door. Our front porch is also a bit narrow, so we wanted something that would go well with these features as well as not make our porch feel more narrow and claustrophobic.
We attached these balusters to cypress railings to match our columns, and we love how it turned out! It matches perfectly, and the curved balusters really help keep a more open feeling on our narrow porch. With the help of a cousin who knew what he was doing, we were able to complete this project, including staining, in a few hours one Saturday.
Pros: Alternative for Real Wood, Easy to Clean, Easy to Install, Stylish, Good Shape

These are beautiful, and serve the purpose very well.
Installation steps: 1- Open box, 2 - locate bag of mounting screws, 3 - throw away bag of mounting screws. 4 - buy separate 1.5" deck screws, 5 - install ballusters.
Seriously, the mounting screws, with the square fitting were horrible. At least 25% of the screws were filled with the anodized paint so a bit would not fit in them, thus trying to screw them into cedar (note a very soft wood) would result in stripping out the bolt. I ordered 10 boxes, so this was not a scenario for just one package, as all 10 had a high % of wasted screws. If the company would invest in better mounting hardware/screws, this would be a 5 star product. This is the second product I have purchased from this same company which had poor mounting hardware.
Note, installing these takes a good bit of time, although I would not blame the product for this, just keep in mind that installing 1 box of 15 takes roughly 1 hour.
Otherwise, these balusters look awesome and I've received tons of compliements.
Pros: High Quality of Material, Good Shape
Cons: Difficult to Install, included screws are useless
Yes, I recommend this product.

Very happy to have purchased these balusters. They significantly enhanced the beauty of my deck by giving it a more custom look compared to decks using standard 2x2s. The aluminum construction and powder coat finish will reduce the overall maintenance demands of the the deck for years to come. Well worth the added expense!

I really liked working with these balusters. My teenage son and I were able to install over 100 of these easily. Overall, the product quality was good. A few of the balusters arch was bigger/smaller than the others. To be honest, it's not noticable unless you are looking for flaws. It was much cheaper to order online than to buy these at the store and because I used shop discover, I got an additional cash back bonus. The appearance of our railing is very attractive using these balusters.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used nearly 100 of these balusters on our deck. They are easy to install, look great and hold up under weather. I wish the manufacturer would include a few extras screws and washers because you may drop and potentially lose them.

Overall the quality of these balusters was excellent! The finish and grade of aluminum are very durable. The only reason I couldn't give them a perfect 5 was that the decorative crews provided were a 1/4" too long and went all the way through my top and bottom rails! I had to purchase a box of black drywall screws to replace the ones that came with the balusters so that I could install them without seeing the screw tips exposed on the inside of the rails.
Yes, I recommend this product.

My DeckoRail 32-1/4 in. Black Aluminum Arch Baluster (14-Pack) were delivered to my front door. The easy to follow instructions provided were helpful. Our project was a family event, that was educational, fun, and gave us the opportunity to spend some extra time together. With all of our effort and time we spent in building our 26' x 26' deck, my wife & I wanted to make sure that we gave our deck a touch of class and this product performed above our expectations.
Yes, I recommend this product.
