VersaRail Aluminum Deck Railing by Dura Life
The VersaRail Railing System is Compatible with RDI Avalon Posts and most Avalon accessories
What Is VersaRail Aluminum Railing:
- Product / Brand: VersaRail is an aluminum railing system offered through DuraLife / Barrette Outdoor Living.
- Material: Powder-coated aluminum, which gives it strength plus corrosion resistance. Uses solar guard finish to resist fading.
-
Finish / Durability:
Powder coat is tested for weather: according to DuraLife’s spec sheet, the finish has been tested up to 10,000 hours of salt spray for coastal durability. - Rail Profiles: Offers two top-rail profiles: “Classic” and “Cambridge” (more contoured) for design flexibility.
- Color Options: Common colors are Matte Black, Matte Bronze, and White.
- Panel Sizes: Typical kit sizes are 6' and 8', with both 36″ and 42″ heights.
- Baluster Type: Uses square balusters (¾″ square) per their spec sheet.
- Locking System: Uses a patented ProLock® locking strip. This strip secures rails to balusters “from the inside out,” which conceals fasteners and gives a clean finish.
- “Cocktail Rail” Option: There’s an adapter to allow inserting a deck board on top of the rail so it becomes a flat surface (drink rail / ledge).
- Post Extensions: Optional post extensions are available (adds ~ 65″ to existing 2.5″ posts) — useful if you want taller posts or to hang lights, etc.
- Weather Testing: Advanced weather testing is cited ("product undergoes advanced weather testing")
Pros:
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum + high-grade powder coat helps resist rust, which is very valuable in a salty, humid, coastal environment.
- Durability: Built to handle weather — salt spray testing implies good longevity in coastal settings.
- Aesthetic Flexibility: Two top-rail profiles + color options + “cocktail rail” adapter give design flexibility — you can make the rail look more modern, traditional, or functional (flat top to place items).
- Clean Finish: The ProLock system hides fasteners for a sleek look.
- Low Maintenance: Aluminum railings don’t need painting or regular rot-repair like wood.
- Height Options: With post extensions and 36″ / 42″ kits, you can adapt to different local code height requirements or design preferences.
