Vinman,
Welcome and congrats on your tiki pool. Sounds like a pretty easy fix for your railings. Try doing a faux bamboo finish on the railings. You keep the strength or your railings minus the plain white look.

Here are some ideas of how to do it:

You don't need to get as fancy making 3D joints,you can just paint them on and give the illusion or Bamboo.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Cheers,
