How to install USA Vinyl Weatherables PVC Hand Rails.

This is the third in a 3 part video series. How to install USA Vinyl’s PVC porch posts, how to repair damaged vinyl siding, and how to install Weatherables PVC porch handrails. In this first video, I show you how I installed my USA Vinyl Weatherables PVC Hand Rails. I like their style, quality, and customer support. Their material handling, however, leaves a lot to be desired. Some of my handrails were somewhat scuffed up right from the factory. After a lot of wet-sanding with some 600-grit sandpaper, they were acceptable. In the end, I liked the look and quality enough to make the extra effort worth it.

I have some affiliate links below that you may use to go directly to some of the products I used in this project. I also provide a link to USA Vinyl’s website and the Amish vinyl cupola with a metal roof at the bottom of this description section. I am not affiliated with them in any way.
