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.
