Types of Deck Railing Systems

August 23, 2018

With any type of decking, you can choose the same type of railing system, whether cedar, plastic, coloured PVC or vinyl, composite, or metal such as aluminum.

Of course, the type of railing you choose depends on your goals.  Is it privacy? then there are privacy glass rails like this one we did.  Do you want to have rails that don’t block your view? Then you want frameless glass rails or aluminum rails with glass panels are popular and useful.  If your goal is maintenance free and waterproof, then you want vinyl or aluminum railings, or frameless glass.

Learn more about a glass railing system with aluminum rails, or as shown in video below, a frameless glass rail with no posts.

These deck contractors show some maintenance-free deck railings in this short video – saying, “ditch the wood”.

Here is a show of deck rail ideas.  Just figure out which best matches your existing deck, or new build of your dream deck.  Wood railings require more maintenance, especially in Vancouver’s rainy weather, so you may want to go with glass or aluminum deck rails.
