Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series 36" & 42" York Vinyl Stair Railing Sections – Choose Your Length & Color

• York stair sections with round aluminum balusters — Each 200 Series York stair kit pairs a flat vinyl top rail and rectangular bottom rail with 3/4" round aluminum balusters for a clean, modern mixed-material look on your stair runs.
• 36" or 42" code-focused heights — Choose 36" high stair sections for typical residential decks or 42" high sections where a taller guard is required by local code or preferred for added security and comfort.
• Standard 6' and 8' stair lengths — Boxed York stair kits are available in 6' and 8' lengths for typical 32–36 degree stair runs and can be cut to fit your exact opening while maintaining bracket engagement.
• Boxed kits with everything for one stair span — Each stair section includes an aluminum-reinforced top rail, aluminum-reinforced bottom rail, 3/4" round aluminum balusters, standard stair mounting brackets (32–36 degrees) with screws, and an installation guide; posts, caps, and post trim are sold separately.
• Made to match your 200 Series York level railing — Uses the same York round balusters and 200 Series rail profile as York level sections, so your stairs and level runs look like one coordinated system instead of a mix of styles.
• Color options for cohesive design — Available in White, Almond, Clay, and Black to coordinate with popular trim and decking colors and to match the rest of your 200 Series railing layout.
• Standard and non-standard stair solutions — Included brackets are designed for standard 32–36 degree stair runs; order universal 0–45 degree stair mounts separately for ramps or non-standard stair pitches.
• Professional-grade, code-evaluated system — 200 Series “Professional Rail” is made in the USA from high-quality virgin vinyl with aluminum inserts and is evaluated under Intertek CCRR-0167 for use as a guard system when installed per the report and manufacturer instructions.

The Superior Outdoor Products 200 Series York Vinyl Stair Railing Sections extend the clean, contemporary look of your York level railing down the stairs. Each boxed kit combines a flat 200 Series vinyl top rail and rectangular bottom rail with 3/4" round aluminum balusters, creating a strong, open-feeling infill that pairs nicely with modern and traditional homes alike. Available in 36" and 42" heights and 6' and 8' stair lengths, these sections come with standard 32–36 degree stair brackets and all the hardware needed for one post-to-post span, making it easy for contractors and experienced DIYers to build low-maintenance, code-focused stair rails in White, Almond, Clay, or Black.

Why Choose This Stair Railing Section

• Consistent look from deck to stairs — Using York stair sections with York level sections keeps the same flat top rail and round baluster profile throughout your project, so your stair runs don’t look like an afterthought.
• Better visibility through the rail — Slim round aluminum balusters create a more open view than big vinyl pickets, helping preserve sightlines to your yard or landscape while still providing a secure guard.
• Low-maintenance, long-term performance — Vinyl rails and powder-coated aluminum balusters resist rot, rust, and peeling paint, so you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space and less time maintaining it.
• Boxed, installer-friendly kits — Each stair section arrives with rails, balusters, brackets, screws, and instructions in a single box, simplifying takeoffs, ordering, and jobsite staging.
• Designed for code-focused installations — 36" and 42" heights, aluminum-reinforced rails, and code evaluation under CCRR-0167 support guardrail applications when installed with the proper posts, mounts, and spacing.
• Flexibility for non-standard angles — For ramps or stair runs outside the typical 32–36 degree range, you can pair these sections with universal 0–45 degree stair mounting brackets (sold separately) for custom angles.

Specifications

Installation

Begin by laying out your stair run and confirming the rise, run, and angle of your stairs. Install structural post mounts and 4" vinyl post sleeves at the top and bottom of the stair, plus any intermediate landings, following Superior’s instructions and local building codes. Measure the distance between posts along the stair angle and cut your York stair section to length if needed, maintaining the minimum rail length required for the brackets. Attach the included 32–36 degree stair brackets at the correct heights on the posts, then slide the aluminum-reinforced top and bottom rails into the brackets and secure with the supplied screws. Install the 3/4" round aluminum balusters into the pre-routed or pre-punched rails according to the installation guide, ensuring consistent spacing. Snap on the bracket covers to hide fasteners and finish the posts with matching caps and base trim. For stair angles outside 32–36 degrees, use universal 0–45 degree stair mounts (sold separately) as directed by the manufacturer.

Buying Guide

• Match stair height to your guards — Choose 36" stair sections to coordinate with 36" level guards or 42" stair sections where taller guardrails are required or preferred for elevated decks.
• Choose the right length — Use 6' stair sections for shorter flights and tighter layouts, or 8' sections to reduce the number of posts on longer stair runs; both can be trimmed to exact length on site.
• Coordinate with York level sections — For a unified design, use York stair and York level sections in the same color and height so your entire railing system uses the same round baluster infill.
• Plan hardware for non-standard angles — If your stairs are outside the typical 32–36 degree range or you’re railing a ramp, add universal 0–45 degree stair mounting brackets to your order.
• Don’t forget posts and mounts — Stair kits include rails, balusters, and brackets but not the supporting posts; be sure to order compatible structural post mounts, 4" post sleeves, caps, and trim.
• Check local code and CCRR-0167 — Review Intertek CCRR-0167 and local building requirements for guard height, span limits, handrail needs, and attachment methods before you install.

Can I mix York stair sections with other 200 Series infills?
