These Balusters are aluminum, they are not very thick nor heavy duty. Being aluminum, the won’t rust, but I imagine they would not survive a bunch of rambunctious kids. They look great and make for a great looking banister for a deck.
I found the Vevor Deck Baluaters very easy to use and set up. The entire process went very quick. I think an improvement could be made of the pre drilled holes on the Balusters could have a small counter sink hole for the screws that were enclosed would set in and better give a smoother look to the finished product. It would also help if a few extra screws were added to the packet. The number of screws were exactly the number required to complete the job: sometimes when working on a grassy job site items seem to disappear.
