Rail Grips Pool Handrail Cover

This grip works perfectly. The only down is it badly faded after one summer of Az sun.

This is the third one I’ve purchased. We live in Arizona and our chrome rail gets too hot to touch. This eliminates that issue and it’s padded for comfort. It does tend to fade and in this weather is good for about three years. Even at that we’d recommend.

This is an excellent cover. It looks great. In Arizona, though, where I live, the sun is fading it pretty fast. It's only been a few months & I don't expect it to last more than a season. I'll probably buy a different one next year.

This is my second one to buy. For the price I wish they would last longer than one summer. Two or three summers would be a lot better value. They are very easy to install. Just be sure and measure your railing accurately. They work well in that during the summer when the temp gets up to high 90 s and into the 100's it really allows you to use the handrail without getting burned.

Excellent and a perfect fit. It zips on. I am one old man with arthritic hands and was able to zip it on in about 10 minutes with no help. If you have a second person to help that will get it on much faster. I got the 4' length .High quality. This ONE PIECE for one railingCouldn't be more pleased with my purchase. BTW The Amazon price for this was 75% LESS than any of my local pool supply places.A real bargain.EDIT-one year later. It's been on for a year now. I live in a hot climate where we can use the pool 10 months out of the year. Color completely faded before the end of the first summer. Now the stitching is coming undone and the ;wrap won't stay in place. It slides down the hand-rail.I'll use it till it falls apart and then buy another as the price and quality can't be beat.Edit two. I bought this and put it on in June,2016.It's now June 2019 and I am replacing it. After 3 years it's starting to fall apart. No complaints here.It did a great job in our 118 degree summers. (Palm Springs,Ca).I wish it came in other colors.

I have a shiny chrome handrail that gets extremely hot when the sun hits it making it difficult to use to get in and out of the pool. I could not really tell if it was going to fit without sliding around that decided to go ahead and get it anyway. It did take a while to get it to relax enough where I could get it to ends of the zipper together and close enough so I could start the process of zipping it up. The technique I used was to first just get the zippers end to meet up then I zipped it up only about a quarter of an inch and then unzipped it. Then each time I would add another two or 3 inches and then unzip it again until finally it was really easy to get it on. It fits snugly and does not move around because the inside of it is lined with what feels like very thin foam rubber. I would describe this like a steering wheel cover that is made out of cloth and elastic with the foam rubber inside to grip the steering wheel so it doesn't move around.

Mislead by all the reviews. I was so worried about the size and the zipper breaking that I almost bought the six foot size which would've been way too long. I read how difficult a time everyone was having putting this rail grip in place. It arrived on time and I immediately read the instructions - couldn't be any easier. I measured the grip to the rail for size and placement - so far so good. Then I proceeded with step one - stretch it to make it more pliable - I actually over stretched it making it really loose. I wet it and the rail and it went on so easy - it zipped up like a loose windbreaker - no tugging - no sticking - no problem. I even unzipped it - took it off - turned it around so the zipper tab was on the bottom instead of the top of the rail. Again - very easy - no problem. After the grip dried on the rail it tightened up nice and snug. Not sure what the fuss was about with other reviewers. It looks nice, feels nice and will keep us from burning our hands in the Las Vegas heat. I highly recommend this product for your pool rail.

This will stop you from burning your hand on your swimming pool's handrail.Ouch — those railings get very very hot in the summer. We live in Phoenix, what would you expect? After seeing one of these neoprene hand rails at a friend's house, we bought this one. It zips easily onto the handrail and we kept it there all season last year. So pleasant! In the fall, when the water cooled off to use (yes, that happens, even in Phoenix) we unzipped the cover, threw it in the washer, and then packed it away with all our pool toys. During the heat of the summer the color faded a bit, but otherwise the cover stayed soft and supple.In early April, when the pool warmed up to 75 degrees, we zipped the cover back onto the handrail and went for our first dip in the water. Yay!HINT: When deciding which size to buy, look not only at the top of the hand rail, but also at any part lower down that someone in the pool might grab. In our case, the 6 foot size covered the top of the rail and a lower part that looped over the pool.
