When it comes to non-corrosive rails, ladders, and deck equipment, pool pros know the pain of rust, heat, and constant maintenance. Saftron is changing that. Built from metal-reinforced polymer, Saftron products stay cool, never corrode, and meet code without the bonding headaches. They’re 100% made in the USA, designed to work with existing anchors, and available in colors that match nearly any backyard. If you’re stocking for the first time or upgrading a project, this quick FAQ will give you the answers—and the edge—you need.
What should I stock first?
Start with the most popular products in Graphite Gray—it’s the closest match to stainless and blends well in most backyards. Focus on top SKUs like grab rails, ladders, and surface-mount options. If you’re unsure, ask for the Saftron Buying Guide to help plan initial orders.
What if a dealer wants to use non-Saftron anchors?
Saftron rails work with standard anchor sizes. If a dealer prefers metal anchors, it can be done—just note that using metal may reintroduce bonding requirements depending on local code. Saftron plays well with others, but bonding benefits may be reduced.
Do you offer touch-up paint?
No need—Saftron uses solid colored tubing. There’s no exposed metal and no powder coating to chip, so there’s nothing to touch up. If powder-coated steel chips, it can rust within weeks. Saftron won’t.
Can you cut the rails to custom lengths?
No. Cutting rails voids the warranty. However, leg extensions are available. For special requests, talk to your Saftron rep about available jig options—they’re popular and often given away.
Can Saftron rails be used in existing anchors?
Yes. Saftron uses the same rail diameter as standard rails, so they’ll fit most existing deck anchors without modification.
What’s the difference between Saftron and others claiming “Made in America”?
Some companies assemble overseas parts in the U.S. Saftron is different—they source AND manufacture 100% in the U.S. That’s true end-to-end American made.
What materials are Saftron rails and ladders made from?
Saftron rails and ladders are made from metal-reinforced, high-impact polymer. This construction provides durability while eliminating exposed metal.
What are the main benefits of choosing Saftron products over traditional metal options?
The key advantages of Saftron products are that they do not rust or corrode due to having no exposed metal, they do not require bonding or grounding, they do not get hot to the touch, and they come in six color options. They also have a low claim rate and are made in the USA.
What are the color options available for Saftron products?
Saftron products are available in White, Taupe, Gray, Beige, Black, and Graphite Gray. Graphite Gray is noted as the closest color to stainless or chrome.
What is the warranty coverage for Saftron products?
Saftron offers a 5-year warranty on rails and ladders and a 10-year warranty on fencing. The warranty does not reset if a product is replaced under warranty.
How should I clean and maintain Saftron rails and ladders?
Saftron rails and ladders should be cleaned using a non-bleach soft scrub. Pool socks are not recommended as they reduce grip and can look unappealing.
Can Saftron rails be installed in existing anchor systems?
Yes, Saftron rails are designed with the same diameter as standard rails and will fit most existing deck anchors without modification.
