Deck Railing

Deck Railings are one of the most important safety features of a deck. According to the International Building Code (IBC) railing is needed on decks over 30 inches above grade. Railings need to be stong enough to handle significant force and built with materials that will last. Popular materials used for deck railings include: wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, and steel. Each material has advantages and disadvantages. Homeowners need to do their research to effectively balance cost, safety, and longevity.

The Green Shield Difference

Green Shield uses powder coated Aluminum Deck Railing on all projects. Over the course of checking and installing thousands of decks, Green Shield has found that aluminum outperforms all other materials. Aluminum has natural resistance to rust and corrosion that makes it the best choice for a forever deck. All our aluminum railing is powder coated to meet or exceed AAMA rating of 2604 and will last a lifetime. Green Shield has many available styles of aluminum deck railing to match the aesthetic of your home including: cable, baluster, framed glass, and frameless glass.

"Railings are the safety signature of the deck. Whether it’s baluster, cable, or glass"
