Fix using standard handrail brackets or newel post connectors, ensuring fixings are correctly spaced to prevent any flex along the length. If using externally, apply a suitable exterior paint or wood stain after fitting to add an extra layer of protection over the factory treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this handrail suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
