A very simple but strong handle or rub rail can be made with 1/2" steel conduit, 1/2" treaded rod and a 1/2" conduit bender. Simply cut the conduit to the desired length for the rail or handle, slide in the 1/2" threaded rod, leaving it long on both ends, and bend the combination to the desired angle with the conduit bender. Now cut the rod to length put 1/2 inch flat washers on the rod up against the conduit for support, drill 1/2" holes in the surface, slide in the rod, nuts and washers on the back and you have a strong handle that is galvanized and ready to go.
