    Will this handrail placement be functional?

    Is this a good handrail placement? It looks like I might not be able to reach it when going up the bottom 3 steps. Any ideas for better placement?

    New Build in AZ

Chlorine pool planned, should I add a in-deck chlorinator feeder for tabs or just plan on using liquid chlorine and adding it in by pouring? Thanks all for the advice I will post pictures as we go!
