Product Overview

Benefits

The Artisan ART-1001S lets pool owners modernize the look of their pool entry without changing the deck layout. Because it uses the same footprint as a Figure 4 hand rail, it can often go right into existing anchor locations, saving time and avoiding deck work during a remodel.

The .065" wall stainless tubing provides a strong, stable handhold, and the Artisan design coordinates with other Artisan series rails and ladders for a consistent, custom finish around the pool.
