Hand Rail Wraps

[mbhenry1955]

We have the optional 4 step boarding ladder and my wife is having a hard time grabbing the rails.


Her hands slip.


We are looking for a "Zip On Wrap" like you see on pool ladders.


Any suggestions?  Are any of you out there using something like this?


I've done a little research leaning toward pool products suppliers, but I'm still looking.


Thanks

How about some rubber handle bar tape?  You know, from a road bike?  Cheap. Might be worth trying. Should be waterproof...

We split a pool noodle and velcroed it to the lounge rails for padding. Works great for this. 


Probably not what you are looking for but think outside the box and you will be surprised at what you can come up with. 


Good luck

Or put in "Pool Ladder Wrap" on Amazon.

Mask it off and have at it with this.

I'd try some pipe insulation from you local big box (HD, Menards, etc.) although it might not look as savvy as the rest of your Benny.

The pool ladder wraps on Amazon are too long.


These need to be about 2 foot long.

Go to your local bicycle shop and get a decent grade of handle bar wrap for drop bars. It's usually water proof and you'll have a ton of colors to choose plus different textures. It comes in a roll so you can cover only the area you want. Just my 2 cents!
