    Plastic Slip-On Framing and Fittings

    In addition to being lightweight and strong, this plastic framing is nonconductive with good resistance to chemicals and salt water. Slip the fittings over rails to construct custom railings, guard rails, storage racks, and shelving. Join the rail and fittings with PVC cement (not included) for a permanent bond or drill and connect with fasteners (not included).
