What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the metal stringers for exceptional sturdiness and durability, consistently describing them as strong, heavy-duty, and superior to wooden alternatives. Many highlight the ease of installation, crediting pre-drilled holes and lightweight metal construction for simplifying the process. The sleek, modern design with clean lines earns appreciation for enhancing decks and porches. Some note missing connectors and recommend using number eight screws instead of number ten for composite treads. A few mention tight spaces require specialized tools. Despite minor assembly quirks and occasional missing hardware, most customers consider the product reliable and worth the investment.

Would RecommendThese metal stringers are a great alternative to wood. They are easy to install and I expect them to last longer than wood stringers in an outdoor setting. The coating should prevent rust for a long time and they look good too.

Completely Botched Order
Would RecommendI ordered 2 of the 16 step stringers. Each stringer comes with 2 five step stringers and a six step stringer and 2 hardware kits to tie everything together with post supports. What I received was 2 hardware kits and nothing else. No Stringers, half the hardware kits missing and Lowes said the order was complete. Solution, Return what they sent me and reorder. When you go to reorder, it is out of stock. I can understand a small mistake but this was 95% of the order missing. Plus my hour roun...

Bad Conpany
Would Not RecommendI ordered 3- 11 step stringers , the order was delayed 4 days from original shipping delivery. When they arrived only 2 were delivered. Lowe’s told me it’s not their problem since it’s a third party vender and fed ex delivered it……the problem with that is that I bought it on your website! I ordered another one and went to Lowe’s to tell them I only got 2 of the 3 , I was told that it shows I received all of them , after arguing with the girl and the manager they finally credited me the missin...

Missing Parts
Would RecommendItems were delivered and missing critical part to put hem together. Missing items were supposed to be shipped together but never showed up. Now I can't even start my project until the items either show up on a later shipment or Lowes has to reach out to manufacturer and get the parts shipped out. A simple couple hour project has now turned into a multi week waiting game with no end in site when mu missing parts will show up. I was told I would be contacted within 24 hours with a solution....its...
