Customer Reviews for Barrette Outdoor Living Bella Premier Series 6 ft. x 36 in. White Vinyl Rail Kit with Square Balusters

I purchased this product for several reasons; the first being it was 42" high instead of the standard 36". (Our deck is 11ft above the ground and having the extra height made it feel more secure.) The second reason, was the top and bottom rails were more substantial than other products, making it a strong replacement. A 6ft length was also what was needed, as I wanted to minimize waste. Lastly the the brackets themselves made for easy installation, and although it wasn't noted in the description, the brackets and screws were all included. Be prepared to drive 24 screws per section, some of them 3" long. The installation when done as instructed, is very secure. I hope it lasts many years!

Easy to assemble, lightweight and durable

Everything fit well, easy to cut with hand saw , very pleased with results.

Overall very pleased with the product and final results. I was able to install myself with a little creative thinking. I compared Veranda's standard product (cheaper and available in stores) versus their Premier line. I had actually decided on the standard product, but somehow ordered the Premier railings - but the standard mounting brackets. Thankfully the Premier line comes with brackets - though I did have to order some extras, as I had cut down 8 foot sections to use in smaller sections of my deck. Here are a few things for you to consider when deciding on which product to purchase, and tips for installing: - Standard available in stores, so if you are short any parts, you can usually find them in your local store. If you go with Premier, you have to order online and wait weeks for delivery. - Pay attention to ACTUAL length of sections, as 6' section is not 72", but 67". Very important to understand, especially if you go with Premier (if you miscalculate, you have to order new sections online and wait for delivery). - The stair brackets for Premier are more challenging to work with than the stair brackets for standard. Standard brackets easily adjust to support different pitch - Premier brackets have to be cut down for unusual pitches. Many other reviewers said brackets broke when they tried to cut. I was lucky and did not have to cut mine. But Premier should offer same flexibility as standard brackets. - Measure twice, cut once. Especially important with Premier, as you don't want to screw it up and have to order replacement sections and wait on delivery. - If you have to make any odd cuts, an oscillating multitool cuts through this stuff like butter. I used mine to make some odd cuts on post sleeves, and planned to use to cut the stair rail brackets (if I needed to). Probably better than a chop saw, but will take a bit longer to cut. - Use bungy cords to hold assembled railing together for easy install between posts. - If you go with Premier, they come with brackets – so you only need to order extra brackets if you plan to cut down 8’ sections. Standard requires purchase of brackets. - 8’ sections of Premier come with aluminum insert to make them more sturdy. If your deck is pretty high off ground, this might be worth it. Hope you find all this helpful.

It made for a good looking front porch.

Very easy to install. I really like the way the brackets slip over the rail ends. Looks cleaner. Instructions were clear. Was a real "WOW" with everyone who saw it !

Rail is made of sturdy, maintenance free PVC and looks like wood. Easy to install with included template.

Pretty beefy rails and they fit snug on the dovetail brackets. I replaced all of my wood railings and since have noticed the other decks peeking over the fence in jealousy.

Easy to assemble. Well made. Great looking. I am very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it.

Checking out prices and material online as a contractor is what I do now I no to read the fine print and use the specification before I put freaking polls in the ground. In my world 6 foot if 72 inches not 68 inches. check it out online so I he picked the material up while I was doing the deck and cutting around on my poles. Camp really blame homeowner because I went on the website and checked it out 6 foot everywhere on the top six foot on the website foot only only in friggin specifications does it tell you the real measurements now I have poles too far apart I have to buy 8 foot rails and have all that scrap. Thanks for wasting my time how much money!

Am very pleased with the product quality......it was easy to assemble and installation was fairly simple....the directions were clear and concise and easy to understand.....would definitely recommend the product.

I recomended this composicore premier vinyl rail to everyone, is very strong material and easy to install. Plus easy to clean, and never need paint or replaced any old part than the wood rail.

easy to install and good looking, price is reasonable.

nice product, looks great and is not to difficult to install.

Ingenious installation makes these easy to customize for odd lengths. Looks great. Will need no regular maintenance.

Excellent look when finished. Definitely need at least 2 people to cut/assemble properly

Its junk, simple. Even this review page is junk, it wants me to elaborate on this junk to get to at least 50 chatacters….

Great product Cannot go wrong with this product.

Love this railings. My complaint is that my second batch of order in November didn't have the stoppers on the balusters which made it 5 times or more harder to install than the first batch. I put it down to the pandemic causing the production issue.

The railing was relatively easy to put together, looks nice, and seems durable. I particularly appreciated that the system had built in "slack", so that you didn't have to worry about everything fitting to the exact millimeter.

Easy to install

Went together easily, looks great.

Good product easy install.
