                     5 Tips for Choosing the Right Deck 
Railing
Railing
• Railings provide stability, which is especially 
important for young children, the elderly, and 
people with disabilities. 
• Some people like to lightly graze railings with 
their hands just in case they need extra support 
or balance. The railing also increases the curb 
appeal of your space. 
5 Tips for Choosing the Right Deck Railing
Selecting railing color and style should be fun, but it also can 
be overwhelming considering the myriad options available. 
Listed below are 5 tips for choosing the right deck railing.
• Choose The Right Railing Height
• Select The Best Material
• Ask The Experts
• Coordinate  
• Showcase Your Style
 
 
Choose The Right Railing Height
• Height is one of the most important things when 
it comes to deck railing. Though the local 
building codes will only have the final word in 
deciding the height, railings typically range 
between 36 to 42 inches tall. 
• Something below this height will be unsafe and 
something above that will block your vision. So, 
it is always advisable to maintain height.
Select The Best Material
• When choosing to rail, look for high-performance and 
low-maintenance materials, so that you’ll be able to 
spend more time relaxing on your deck rather than 
maintaining it.
• Although a classic option, wood railing requires 
frequent staining and sealing and is prone to rot and 
decay. 
• Glass also requires a lot of upkeep, while the iron is 
heavy and can be difficult to install. Whereas the 
wood-plastic composites offer durable, attractive and 
versatile options that are easy to work with and 
maintain.
Ask The Experts
• While you have a wide variety of options to 
choose from you can take the help of the experts. 
You can consult your contractor or the sales 
representatives.
Coordinate 
• You can never go wrong by selecting railing in 
the same shade as your decking, such as dark 
brown railing for a dark brown deck. This 
creates a cozy, well-coordinated look.
Showcase Your Style
• You can let the creativity flow by picking the 
most appropriate color and twisting it by lighting 
it up. You can consider LED dimmable options 
to maximize energy efficiency.
