Guardrail options are limitless since there are so many styles and materials to choose from. Simplistically speaking, there are three basic options. Deck builders can custom build a railing system using composites, PVC’s, wood, or a combination of the three. Pre-fabricated systems are also available, or you can have guardrails custom made by third parties, such as wrought iron. Within each of these three categories, there are a number of options that will likely suit your needs.
Choosing a guardrail for your deck is dependent on two things – how will the guardrail compliment your house and the deck and what does your budget allow for? Since a guardrail is the most visible feature on your deck, options should be exhausted to make sure your guardrail is right for your house and not just the deck.
