Absolutely NOT a purchase recommendation
PVC becomes completely sticky after 1.5 seasons.
We had wire ropes as a railing...and after a few years a bit of rust started to collect in the cracks.
I know the railing isn't a clothesline, but every now and then you want to dry a towel on it. They always got rust spots. Of course that's not nice.
So I was thrilled with the beautiful white railing wires here. Ordered 4 at once and everything was installed and replaced very easily!
Yay, I was finally able to hang the laundry on it without worrying that I would end up with rust stains.
Well, now after 1.5 seasons in the Mediterranean I can't hang on to it again. The PVC has softened and may have become sticky (
So if you don't want to change the railing every season, then try something else.
