Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series 36" Whitmer Vinyl Railing Level Sections – Choose Your Length & Color

• Whitmer square aluminum baluster infill — 200 Series Whitmer sections pair the flat vinyl top rail and rectangular bottom rail with 3/4" square aluminum balusters for a crisp, modern look that still feels at home on traditional porches and decks.
• 36" guardrail height — Each Whitmer level section is a 36" high guard, ideal for most residential deck and porch applications where a 36" rail is permitted by local building codes.
• Level sections in four common lengths — Available in 5', 6', 7', and 8' level lengths so you can balance fewer posts on long runs with the flexibility to trim sections to exact post-to-post dimensions.
• Shared 200 Series rail profile — Uses the same flat 3+" wide top rail and simple rectangular bottom rail as Madison, Model, and York infills, making it easy to mix Whitmer with other 200 Series styles while keeping a consistent rail shape.
• Aluminum-reinforced, low-maintenance design — Internal aluminum inserts in the top and bottom rails add strength and stiffness, while exterior vinyl surfaces resist rot, peeling, and repainting.
• Standard Black balusters with upgrade options — Whitmer level kits include 3/4" square Black aluminum balusters as standard; alternate baluster colors such as White, Bronze, or Kona may be available upon request and may require an upcharge and additional lead time.
• Multiple vinyl rail colors — 200 Series rails are offered in core colors like White, Almond, Clay, and Black to coordinate with trim, windows, and decking for a cohesive outdoor living space.
• Professional-grade, made in the USA system — 200 Series Professional Rail is manufactured in the USA from high-quality virgin vinyl and aluminum and is evaluated under Intertek CCRR-0167 for IBC/IRC guard applications when installed per the report and manufacturer instructions.

The Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series Whitmer Vinyl Railing Level Sections give you a sleek, square aluminum baluster infill on the economical 200 Series rail platform. Each boxed level kit includes the flat 200 Series top rail, matching bottom rail with aluminum reinforcement, and a full set of 3/4" square Black Whitmer aluminum balusters, creating a strong, low-maintenance 36" guard that works just as well on front porches as it does on backyard decks. With a single 36" height, four level lengths (5', 6', 7', and 8'), and a palette of rail colors plus optional baluster color upgrades, Whitmer makes it easy to build a railing layout that fits your span, style, and budget while delivering professional-grade performance.

Why Choose This Railing Section

• Modern square-metal aesthetic — The 3/4" square aluminum balusters give Whitmer a more contemporary feel than vinyl pickets, while still providing a traditional post-and-rail outline.
• Open views with secure infill — Slim metal balusters offer better sightlines than large spindles, helping preserve views to your yard, pool, or landscape without compromising safety.
• Flexible layout options — Four section lengths make it easier to hit your post layout without excessive cutting or waste, especially on longer decks and balconies.
• Mix-and-match with other 200 Series infills — Because Whitmer uses the same 200 Series rail profile as Model, Madison, and York, you can use Whitmer on focal runs and different infills elsewhere while keeping the same top-rail shape.
• Low upkeep versus wood railing — Vinyl rails and powder-coated aluminum balusters are designed to resist peeling paint, rot, and rust, reducing the sanding, scraping, and repainting cycles that come with wood.
• Backed by code evaluation — As part of the 200 Series Professional Rail system evaluated under CCRR-0167, Whitmer level sections support IBC/IRC guard applications when paired with the proper posts, mounts, and installation practices.

Specifications

Installation

Lay out your deck or porch railing runs and mark post locations based on your desired section lengths (5', 6', 7', or 8'). Install structural post mounts and 4" vinyl post sleeves at corners, ends, and intermediate positions according to Superior's instructions and local building codes. Measure the post-to-post opening and cut the 36" Whitmer level section to length if needed, maintaining the rail engagement required by the brackets. Attach the level mounting brackets to the posts at the proper heights for a 36" guard, then set the aluminum-reinforced top and bottom rails into the brackets and secure them with the supplied screws. Install the 3/4" square Black Whitmer aluminum balusters into the pre-routed or pre-punched rail openings as directed in the installation guide, ensuring consistent spacing. Snap on bracket covers (where provided) to hide fasteners, then finish with matching post caps and base trim for a clean, professional appearance.

Buying Guide

• Confirm 36" guard height is allowed — Whitmer is offered only in a 36" rail height, which is common for residential decks and porches; verify your local code to ensure 36" guards are acceptable for your project.
• Select the optimal length — 5' and 6' sections are helpful for shorter runs and tighter layouts; 7' and 8' sections reduce post counts on long spans and can be trimmed to fit.
• Coordinate rail and baluster colors — Standard kits include Black balusters, which contrast nicely with White, Almond, Clay, or Black rails. If you prefer White, Bronze, or Kona balusters, ask about special-order options and any upcharges or extended lead times.
• Plan for stairs and gates — Pair Whitmer level sections with compatible stair sections and gate kits from the same 200 Series line so your entire railing system feels cohesive.
• Don't forget posts and mounts — Whitmer boxed sections provide rails, balusters, and brackets, but you'll still need structural post mounts, post sleeves, caps, and trim pieces to complete the installation.
• Review code requirements and CCRR-0167 — Check Intertek CCRR-0167 and local building codes for details on allowable spans, guard heights, and attachment methods before finalizing your layout.
