PICKET SPACING:

- A.R.S. utilizes a combination of picket sizes and spacing to achieve a 4", 5" and a 6" center line.

- 4" inch spacing of an aluminum guardrail is the industry standard, however custom spacing is available.

MAINTENANCE:

- A.R.S. railings are virtually maintenance free, unlike steel or wooden railings.

- Mild detergent diluted with water is all that is needed to keep your railings looking great.

- Do not use acidic, harsh or abrasive cleaning products on railings both of which can harm the finish.
