Is this rail suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting
Rail feels wobbly after installation
Ensure that the connectors are screwed into solid wood studs or appropriate wall anchors rather than just drywall.
Joints between rails are uneven
Loosen the connector screws slightly, realign the rails so they are flush, and then re-tighten the fixings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin installation, identify the start and end points of your staircase. Use a drill and screwdriver to fix the provided connectors to the wall, then secure the 1.2m mopstick handrail segments. Ensure the railing height complies with your local building codes for safety. For care and maintenance, clean the timber periodically with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the finish. If the rail experiences high-traffic use, check the screw connections annually and tighten them if any movement or looseness is detected.
