Our plastic rail end covers are small trims that finish the ends of your rails neatly where a rail meets a post. They cover the cut end of the rail for a clean, tidy appearance, giving your balustrade a properly finished look.
End covers are supplied where needed as part of your kit, but you can buy them separately if you have extra rail ends to finish — for example on shorter custom runs, or where you've cut rails down to length and want to cap the ends.
They're made from durable plastic in a matching black finish, designed to blend with the powder-coated aluminium rails. Building a complete balustrade? Everything you need is in our aluminium balustrade kit, alongside the rail kit.

Compliance
Safety & compliance
Our aluminium balustrade is designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011,
the British Standard for barriers in and around buildings — so you can install it with confidence
around domestic decking, patios, balconies and stairs.
Tested to BS 6180:2011 — load-tested and certified for domestic (single-family) use, resisting a horizontal load of 0.36 kN/m (test report AR210)
1100 mm guarding height — meets the standard for domestic guarding
100 mm sphere rule — pickets at 96.5 mm spacing, so a 100 mm sphere cannot pass through
Corrosion-resistant — aluminium alloy 6005 with a batch-tested powder-coat finish (RAL 9017 matt black)
10-year warranty against material and finish defects
Maximum post span 1829 mm — full guidance in the data sheet
Is this balustrade compliant with UK building regulations?
It's designed and tested in line with BS 6180:2011, the British Standard referenced for barriers under Approved Document K. It's load-tested and certified for domestic single-family use (0.36 kN/m). For communal, commercial or public areas, higher load classes apply — speak to us or your building designer first.
How high is the balustrade, and is the gap child-safe?
The finished guarding height is 1100 mm, and pickets are spaced at 96.5 mm so a 100 mm sphere cannot pass through — meeting the gap requirement for domestic guarding.
Do you have test evidence I can show building control?
Yes — download our Compliance & Load Data Sheet above, which sets out the BS 6180 loads, our test results and the installation conditions.
Certified for domestic single-family use. For other applications, please contact us before ordering.

Looks really good and great value
Thanks for taking the time to leave this. Getting a finish that looks the part without paying bespoke prices for it is exactly what the kits are built for, so it's good to hear it's landed that way for you.

Love the balustrade, very well made. No rough edges, lovely black powder coated finish with smart trim finishings.
Solid production throughout and looks very sleek on our new split level garden. Mounted it onto a stone supporting wall using threaded bolts set in resin, very strong installation giving reassurance between the two levels.
Well packaged, great communication from the supplier and delivered by a very friendly driver using their own vehicle. Professional family owned company offering perfect service throughout.
Thank you so much for this — and for taking the time to add the video, which really shows the finish off. The split-level garden looks fantastic, and it sounds like you've done a proper job of the installation onto the stone wall. Really pleased the powder coating and trim details hit the mark too — that's the stuff we fuss over. And thank you for the kind words about the service and delivery; as a family-run company that means a great deal to us. Enjoy the garden! — Brett

Good customer service and great looking product. For DIY enthusiasts a chopsaw is a must and take time to ensure the rail brackets are fitted to the post centrally.
Thanks Steve, much appreciated — glad you're pleased with the product and the service. And those are genuinely useful pointers for anyone reading before their own install: a decent chopsaw with a metal-cutting blade makes trimming the rails far easier, and taking the time to centre the brackets on the posts is exactly the kind of care that gets the clean finish. Thanks for taking the time to share it. — Brett

WOW what a great company to deal with ! From start to finish it have been impressed. Needing a powered coated balustrade i originally went to bespoke manufacturers and was shocked by the price and installation costs. I then researched online DIY and self installation kits and found The Outdoor Look. Communication was outstanding with 1 to 1 feedback on my measurements, help and instructions on installation. The quality of the products are first class and I personally found installation so easy, you just need to read instructions and take your time . Before long the balustrade is up and at a fraction of the cost of bespoke fabrication. Thank you so much for your product, help and service i could not be happier !
Thank you so much for this — what a review! You've described exactly what we set out to do: give people a way to get a proper powder-coated balustrade without the bespoke fabrication price tag, with real help along the way rather than just a box in the post. Really pleased the measurement checks and instructions did their job, and the finished photos look superb. Enjoy it — and thanks again for taking the time, it genuinely means a lot. — Brett

Brett offers brilliant customer service.
Delivery was early.
Product is excellent, but FULL assembly. Didn't see that on the web site BUT it makes life easier.
Saved myself £4k over supply/ installed balustrades, and only took me ONE day.
Hi Alex, thank you for taking the time to leave this — and for the photos, the terrace looks superb. Saving £4k against a supply-and-install quote and finishing in a day is exactly what the system is designed for, so it's brilliant to hear it worked out that way. And that's a fair point on the assembly — the kit does come as parts to put together (it's how we keep it DIY-friendly and the price down), and we'll make that clearer on the website. Thanks again for choosing us. — Brett

Well built, easy to install, all the bits you need in a single delivery. As a DIY'er I found this kit and installed it on a deck for my daughter. She was over the moon with the quality of the goods and the finish we achieved. Having everything in one delivery saved me the trouble of having to work out how many of each bit I needed. Great purchase.
Thanks for this — really pleased it went well. That's exactly why the kit comes as one delivery with everything counted for you; working out how many of each part you need is the bit most people dread, so it's good to hear it took the guesswork out. And a deck built for your daughter that she's over the moon with is about the best result there is. Thanks for choosing us.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It's great to hear the balustrade complements your steel doors — that combination always looks fantastic. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Enjoy the new look!
