Deck Railings.

Every deck which is 24 inches above the ground or higher requires a railing around the deck and along the stairs. Safety reasons aside, deck railings help define the space, and can add a cozy feeling to your backyard oasis.

Deck Railing Systems.

If you have a deck overlooking a stunning view, and you don’t want to block it with a railing, you can opt for glass panels or cable railings which minimize the amount of obtrusiveness. There are a lot of options when it comes to railings and new designs are being released each season. To get started, lets cover some basic terminology about railings.

There are essentially four main parts of a railing:

  • Spindles – the vertical supports that sit between a handrail and base rail. Also known as a balustrade.
  • Base rail – sits on top of the string or along a landing.
  • Handrail – a rail that sits on top of the baluster/spindles.
  • Railing post – the vertical post that supports the handrail at the top and bottom of the stairs.

Thanks to innovations in materials and designs you can choose different materials, colours, or looks for any part of the railing. For example, you could have wood railing posts with a wood handrail and aluminum/steel spindles and base rail.
