Customer Reviews for Aria Railing 42 in. x 69.43 in. Black Powder Coated Aluminum Preassembled Deck Railing

Aria railings and posts are excellent quality, sturdy and easy to install. No exposed fasteners other than the support foot. Great design and very structurally sound when you use the 6" structural screws to install the posts. The finished product looks amazing. I have had many compliments on them. If you use the Aria website's job planner, they will give you a layout and parts list. Just take it to Home Depot and give it to the Pro-Desk. Super easy and affordable for aluminum railings.

Very attractive product with one caveat. The top finish rail absolutely refuses to snap on to the fence part. The only way I could secure it was to drive a screw at each end.

The railing is high quality and a beautiful color. Cutting aluminum sucks! Be careful!! Have a grinder on hand and a file. Be sure to purchase the touch-up paint!

Very good quality. Needs exact measuring and cutting to achieve best results. We installed this railing system and a number of clients and they love how it makes the composite decks we built them stand out even more. Looks and feels high end.

Very good quality. You absolutely need to use a aluminium cutting blade and work exact, especially on the bottom rail and the upper trim as these cuts (or gaps) are visible. This railing system gives a high end note especially to composite decks. Customer absolutely loved the finished look.

Love this. Much sturdier than I or my contractor expected. Looks and feels like it should have cost twice as much. Smoothest hate operation I have ever seen. You won't be upset with this railing.

Aria Railing systems are a phenomenal option for your aluminum railing needs. Installing these systems requires basic construction knowledge and of course the appropriate tools. When choosing material options for my deck build, I found that Aria offered the best quality, ease of installation, and overall value. The powder coated aluminum is beautiful and it compliments the no maintenance Trex decking well. I recommend this product!!

The panels installed fairly easy once I got used to the process. I was pleased with the look and sturdiness of the finished railing with one exception. All of the top rails snapped solidly into place with no wiggle except for two of the 6ft railings where the top rail that would not snap down solid. All were installed exactly the same way and none of the attachment brackets were in the way of the top rail fastening. Coincidence or not, I had two boxes that were taped closed instead of stapled, suggesting they were probably returns. These were also the two sections where the top rail would not fasten. My suggestion is that when you receive your shipment do not accept any boxes that are taped. You will not know you have a problem until you are doing the last step of installing the railing.

Great product! Customer service (Cody) was available to speak with me and sent what I needed immediately. I highly recommend Aria!

Although a little on the expensive side, I was vey happy with the end result, and the quality of this product. It can be tough to spend thousands of dollars on an item based on pictures and reviews, but it all worked out great. The bronze powder coat finish is durable, and didn't scratch after some post fell onto the pool deck. Pre-drilling pilot holes takes a bit longer; however produces a much better finished product. Very happy and would absolutely recommend.

This railing system really added the finishing touch to my deck. Easy to install and really sturdy. The customer service from the manufacturer is truly amazing!

This system is well made and fairly easy to work with, I cut the handrail components using a miter saw with a 90-tooth blade (not an abrasive blade like thought would be needed). This made a very smooth cut which is good since there are no trim pieces to cover the handrail ends where they meet the posts. I bought end caps (extra cost) to use where the handrail met the walls in the photo. These caps are well made but a little pricey at around $36 per set (one top and one bottom cap per set). The posts are very solid and do not budge after installation - I used epoxy to install the anchor bolts after the concrete was poured. As you can see, the system results in a very clean look. It comes with brackets and self-tapping screws to connect the handrail to the post but I recommend drilling pilots holes for the screws. I gave it 5 stars for quality and 4 stars overall due to price - the three section system you see cost almost $800. However, I did a good bit of research and this was by far the best choice for my project.

Great product. Fairly easy to install, looks great.

We are so pleased with this railing. We had questions about this product and called the Aria customer service and they helped immensely. They helped us identify exactly what materials were needed to complete the job. They went above and beyond. The railing is of high quality and is very sturdy. It looks very rich and appealing - much nicer than other railings we looked at. What you get for the price is very good - don't think you can beat it anywhere. All pieces/parts also came quicker than we were told. We highly recommend this product. Thanks for everything Aria!!!!

BTW, I think it absurd that Aria does not provide the template and touch up paint (which I bought black touch up paint from HD). My order was over $5000, which ships from Aria so they know this is a large order and one would think they could include these and some extra self-drilling screws (working 8 feet over bushes I was very careful to not lose a screw). I had over 300 opportunities of dropping a screw. In two baluster sections the gap was unfortunately very close to the balusters width and the baluster ‘ears’ where cut when the rail was cut to length. That means the post clips are taller than the assembly rails. That then prevents the top rail from snapping into place at the ends because they have overly tight tolerances. The solution was to grind the clip center bottom areas to clear the baluster attaching ‘ear’. Then the clip could be placed without sticking up and there is plenty of room to screw the clip to the post and the baluster rail to the clip.

The Aria railing system is top notch! The quality is great, the fit and finish are first rate. I was a little nervous to use meta I’m tailings because I never had done anything like this before. The railings came well packaged and protected. No scratches or blemishes. Each piece came with instructions. There are also online instructions and videos to help. I had one issue where the hand rail posts were too short and I called the company. Their staff took care of my problem and were very polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this product.

The Aria system was easy to install and their customer service was the best. This was just perfect to add the finishing touches to our remodeled deck. Just a great big shout out to Cody at ARIA. Thank you for all of your help. Peggy & Roy

All in all im very satisfied with this product. Make sure to order the touch up and jig kit.

My husband was so pleased with this product that he asked me to write this review. He was impressed with the quality of the product and the ease is assembly. He is a tradesman and has not worked with a product of this caliber in a long time. Customer service was so friendly and answered our one question quickly. The railing makes our new deck look so impressive. 100% worth the money. Looks fabulous.

Instructions were clear. It was easy to install. The finished product looks great and is very sturdy. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how professional it looks. We are pleased with the results and we definitely recommend it to others. We purchased the bronze color and love it!

Our contractor just installed the Aria aluminum railing on our front porch between our white columns and the black color really accents the overall look of our home, getting lots of neighbor compliments! Black matches our new roof, gutters and down spouts. Really like the width of the railing top and thinner spindles allow a lighter, not so heavy, feel to the front porch when seated outside or walking up to the house. Really like the sturdy metal feel versus a flimsy vinyl railing. This product will last as long as our new siding warranty with no maintenance! Thank you for a beautiful, professional product at a great price, easy to order and easy to install!

its on 32 inches in H. quality is flimsy. i dont think it can meet housing codes at all.

Top Rails not Snapping In: SOLUTION!! I absolutely love this product. It was easy to install, is sturdy, and looks beautiful! My only issue was those darn top railings not snapping in. I read in many other posts of people having the same issue. I solved the problem by using 2 inch metal to metal self tapping screws. I started the screw underneath the rail, it then penetrated upwards and then grabbed the inside part of the rail. To my delight the screw continued grabbing until it pulled the top rail down and snapped it into place! Now the rail is snapped and screwed and SOLID! Honestly, this should be part of the design/instructions. The screws are completely hidden, however, I will still paint them black. I used 3 screws for each 6 ft section (one on each end and one in the middle)

We replaced our redwood deck floorboards with a composite and our redwood railings with the aria system. I read a review prior to buying this and the writer said the railing was flimsy right out of the box. Once the top and bottom are attached, this railing is very sturdy. The quality is excellent and it is everything we hoped for. The look is great with no brackets visible. Unless you are an avid do-It-yourselfer or a professional, I would discourage you from attempting this project. The tolerances are so close you cannot force this product to shrink or stretch. It helps to have an 8" c-clamp or larger along with blocks of wood cut to width to squeeze the railing snaps to the panels. If they won't snap, something is binding or too long.

This is an amazing system for deck railing. Easy to install with snap on top and bottom rails to cover hardware. I did two existing decks, replacing old wooden railing. I LOVE it, could not be more satisfied. Highly recommend the Aria railing system!!!

Easy to install - great quality nice and strong...

This Aria Aluminium Railing is AWESOME. My wife and I looked for over a year for a railing product that would look nice and last on our now new decks we had redone after 35 years. This Aluminum railing met her critical review! We like the fact that when finished there are no screws or anything that are showing, just a very clean professional looking railing that looks great, everyone comments on how nice it looks. Shipping was very quick, only a few days which included a weekend, much quicker than anticipated. Also it was pretty easy to install for you DIY'ers. The system included everything needed except lag screws for the poles and tools. We installed a few more upright poles than would normally be required for the look she wanted, that required cutting the aluminum railing which was easy to do and required ordering some extra railing installation kits for the extra railing sections (more, smaller length sections) which came quickly. Each railing section comes with the required hardware to attach both ends (the self taping screws worked better than I thought they would) on the 6' or 8' rail section and are easy to work with, but if you cut the sections in half like us then you need the extra mounting hardware for the second section and extra poles. Both Home Depot and the Manufacture were wonderful to work with and went the extra mile to help us out and make sure we were/are satisfied customers, which we are, my wife is thrilled and comments on how nice the railing looks 3-4 times a day every day. Thanks, Expectations MET!!!

Picture of finished product. Customer service was amazing Product arrived in perfect condition Installation was easy for DIY

I would highly recommend this product. We installed this on our deck and it is very sturdy and of great quality. The product came in a box so the packaging was very well protected. Aria Railing customer service as well is top notch. They answered all of my questions and I will be recommending this product to all of my friends. Already had several friend ask where I got this product. Great job Aria!
