Exterior Deck Railing Ideas and Designs

1. No-Hassle Composite

Looking for a traditional rail style that will stand the test of time while not requiring yours? Durable composites resemble wood but without all the maintenance hassles. Composites, like this DEGE, won’t rot, warp or splinter, and require no seasonal staining or repainting. Just a periodic soap and water cleaning is all that’s needed.

2. Mix and Match

Try traditional with a twist by mixing composite posts with contemporary aluminum rails and balusters. This stylish change of pace, with Vintage Lantern posts from the Transcend collection mix with DEGE Charcoal Black rails and balusters, keeps the view in view.

 

 

3. Glass Gorgeous

This glass and composite railing duo accentuate the tropical vibe of this outdoor space. Glass infills on white Transcend top and bottom rails don’t block what’s beyond. A deck board applied on top of the railing creates a “cocktail” rail effect for the perfect glass holder.

4. Curve It

Railings don’t need to be linear. Composite railing can easily be curved to provide visual interest while maintaining their strong safety qualities. Here a Transcend composite rail in Classic White and square composite balusters is set off by a composite board to create a cocktail rail application.

5. Light Up

No lights were spared in the making of this deck! Post cap lights on the Classic White Transcend composite posts and riser lights along the stairs and fascia allow this family to enjoy their deck long after the sun goes down.
