What kind of rail can be installed in the pool on a baha shelf. So instead of anchoring on a deck and entering into the pool, it anchors on the baha shelf under water and then into pool. Is bonding needed? Will a regular rail work or does a it need a special rail. Recommendations?

Hi and welcome to TFP!
What kind of pool? Plaster, vinyl? Is the pool built already?

Let me call in someone that may know. To me it looks fine but I don't know code and such so what I think does not count LOL
@AQUA~HOLICS any help?

I have only seen this type of hand rail installed on the deck and not in the pool. Deck installation requires it to be bonded due to the distance from the water.
I’m questioning how the plaster is to adhere to the stainless rail.

On a side note, have the excess tile grout/scratch coat below the tiles removed. This will help with having ample amount of plaster under the tiles for a stronger bond.
I have that exact handrail. Ours is installed on the pool deck.
We put our pool in during covid, it was all that was available.
It came with those exact mounting bolts. And yellow plastic anchors.
I hope that is not what they used to install it, but it probably is.
I took ours to a local welding shop, who cut the large flange off, and extended the 2 legs. We used conventional railing pocket anchors on 8" centers.
The plastic anchors that come with that railing will never be adequate to properly install the railing.
Ill look tomorrow, I think I still have the flange that they cut off laying around. Ill post a pic if I do.
