Top Hat System
Our Top Hat System gives an aesthetic balance of symmetry to the finished project. This system is a great option to a turnbuckle system and when installed the absence of any visible threads leaves you with a very smooth & clean appearance. This is also a very good system for retrofitting existing rails to meet current codes.
