- Questions

What diameter hand rails are best for my boat?

Standard marine hand rails are 25mm (1 inch) diameter for comfortable grip on Gold Coast vessels. Smaller 22mm rails suit lighter applications and children's grip, while 30mm rails provide extra strength for heavy-duty commercial use throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Choose 25mm for most recreational boats as it balances comfort, strength, and availability of fittings.

Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless steel for hand rails?

Always choose 316 marine-grade stainless steel for saltwater environments on the Tweed Coast. Grade 316 contains molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless, which will rust in marine conditions. The cost difference is minimal compared to replacement costs. All our marine rails use 316-grade stainless steel for long-term durability.

How do I install hand rails securely on my deck?

Through-bolt all hand rail mounting bases using backing plates beneath the deck on the Gold Coast. Never rely on screws alone as they pull out under load. Use marine sealant on mounting holes to prevent water intrusion into cored decks, and tighten bolts evenly without overtightening. Properly installed rails withstand significant loading from passengers grabbing them in rough conditions.

Can I bend stainless steel rail tube myself for custom shapes?

Bending stainless tubing requires specialized tube benders to prevent kinking and maintain smooth curves throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Most boaters purchase pre-bent rails or have custom rails fabricated professionally. Straight rail sections with fittings at angles offer a DIY-friendly alternative that achieves similar configurations without requiring tube bending equipment or skills.
