Benefits of Aluminum Deck Railing for Your Deck
There are a lot of benefits that Aluminum Deck Railing offers over alternatives like wood and vinyl wrap. Homeowners particularly enjoy the durability and low maintenance aspects of Green Shield’s carefully selected Aluminum Deck Railing options.
Our Aluminum Deck Railing is rated to the highest standard at AAMA 2605 by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association. This designation indicates that our railings offer superior performance and outperform even “high performance” aluminum railings. Certified to resist contact with salt spray and humidity for over 10 years without issue, our aluminum deck railings are ready to withstand all four seasons on your deck in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana. Green Shield’s Aluminum Deck Railing is also abrasion resistant so it will keep your deck looking new for years to come.
Many Styles and Colors of Aluminum Deck Railing
There are many styles and colors of Aluminum Deck Railing available when building your Green Shield deck. Offering a wide range of colors and styles allows our Deck Designers to work with you to find the perfect fit for your home and personal taste.

Not all deck builders are able to offer such a wide range of options. Green Shield leverages our direct from manufacturer relationships to bring these options to you. Each style offers unique features that can elevate your outdoor space. Make sure to consider all your options before making a final decision on your deck design.
Available Aluminum Deck Railing Colors
Green Shield's Aluminum Deck Railing comes in four distinct colors: Black, White, Gray, and Bronze. These colors offer a timeless look to any deck project. Our deck railing colors and finishes were chosen for their ability to pair with any of our six (6) main rice hull composite deck board colors. All of our colors come with the same lifetime warranty and superior quality ratings.

How to Choose the Best Aluminum Deck Railing for Your Project
A lot goes into making a decision on what railing will be best for your deck project. Every homeowner has their own aesthetic sense, local environment, and privacy needs. Take a look at our Aluminum Deck Railing selection guide below. Ask these questions to help you get ready for your Deck Designer visit.
Have You Seen a Deck Project You Liked?
Looking at other deck projects for inspiration can be a great way to start. Begin by looking at images of decks and deciding what styles and colors you like and don’t like. Consider how the railing you choose will match Green Shield’s 6 rice-hull composite colors and the exterior of your home.
What Surrounds Your Deck Location?
Consider the local environment around your deck. Imagine how your deck railing will interact with your gardens, trees, pool, and/or lake. Which option will look best next to them? Do you want your deck to standout or blend in?

Many homeowners look to minimize the impact their deck has on the aesthetics of their space. If you are looking to minimize the impact of your deck on the local surroundings consider our Aluminum Cable Deck Railing. Cable railing has a minimal profile and runs horizontally allowing you to see past it without sacrificing safety.

Why blend in when your deck can stand out? Green Shield has options for that too! Make a statement with Gray or Bronze Aluminum Baluster Deck Railing. Bring your aesthetic tastes into the outdoors with these unique options. You can even add LED accents to really make your deck railing pop at night.
How will you be using your deck?
There are also functional considerations when selecting your deck railing style. Hosting guests, creating a private retreat, building a hot tub hideaway, and making sure you have views of the lake all require different approaches to railing color and style. When looking to make your deck uniquely you, Green Shield encourages homeowners to dream big. Consider additions to your deck railing for functionality and aesthetics.
