Nate,

 

I had handrail covers made as well.  They are worth their weight in gold.  I
still overcoat the handrails every year.  The bases sometimes get a little
sun when the cover flips up.  I have snaps centered in each loop and they do
a pretty good job of keeping the covers on.

So after several years of refinishing handrails annually (or maybe every
other year when I was sloppy), I finally added sunbrella handrail covers -
and based on one year's experience, my handrails are now immortal and their
finish is close to immortal. The covers were a minor addition to a new
dodger order, though there are online sources too.  I can't believe I didn't
do this sooner. 

 

Handrail covers are rare around here (I'm now the only one with them in my
50 boat marina), but every time I take them off to go sailing, and look at a
very nice shiny teak finish, looking just a perfect as the last time they
were uncovered, I don't understand why they are rare. For all the cost and
effort or replacing handrails eroded or sanded to oblivion, not to mention
the effort and cumulative cost of refinishing them, I would strongly
recommend getting covers.

 

and, BTW, this year I'm no longer sure why we live here.....
