Customer Reviews

Cost effective, great appearance, easy to assemble. 1. Cost effective for large area need where design would require structures needed vs. contractor building on site 2. Appearance and design is already safety-oriented to meet code 3. Structure is made to accommodate ease of assembly and access without fatal redesign cost, with prompt delivery and no issues.

By Bill K. from The Press of Atlantic City

Installed as a walkover stile to get access to other side of site over cable tray ran on a sleeper I would recommend this solution, as lead time was non-existent and it solved an issue that wasn't thought to be an issue until the project was almost complete. Short lead time and easy to install.
