Key-Link Chesapeake Series Railing

No more wobbly cocktail rail adapter systems!

Chesapeake Series Railing is the perfect choice for those who love to entertain friends and family on their deck. Designed specifically for a deck board top rail, this railing gives guests a flat, wide surface to rest plates and drinks, as well as a comfortable place to lean while taking in the view. Customize the look with a coordinating top rail to match the decking or choose a board in a complementary or contrasting color for visual interest. Your top rail board locks down tightly with no risk of rocking.

Prediction: Chesapeake railings are going to be the hot railing style!

STINGER Tools & Fasteners

Proven performance and the best practice for securing underlayment!

STINGER StaplePac and NailPac capped fasteners help seal out moisture that can penetrate sidewall and roofing fabrics and material. They also provide more holding power than nails or staples alone. The result: Reduced blow-offs and lateral slippage, plus fewer fasteners needed to get the job done.

To install your capped nails or staples quickly and easily, reach for the STINGER CN100B Cap Nailer or STINGER CS150B Cap Stapler, lightweight, compact tools with 200-cap / 200 fastener capacities that reduce arm fatigue.
