You have a wide variety of styles and designs to choose from when it comes to accessorizing your decks and patios with railings and enclosures. You have a wide variety of choices that includes aluminum and cable deck railings, cedar and composite deck railings, wooden deck enclosures or custom enclosures. Regardless of the choice you make there are a few considerations you need to make. Cost is obviously one of them, intricate designs will cost more than ones that are not. Wood might be more expensive depending on the kind of wood you choose. Also take into consideration the rest of the house design layout. The railings and enclosures should blend in. Choose railings for their design, strength, durability and functionality.
Your lifestyle influences your choice of railings more than you think. Railing design depends on your patio or deck size which in turn is influenced by the amount of time you spend on your deck and the number of people who spend time there. If you spend a lot time with friends on your porch, it is going to be a big deck and that will affect the railings you choose. Location of the deck and the material that you use are the other factors that affect the choice of railings and enclosures. Get your railing to match the overall architecture of your patio or deck.
We currently have a deck made of cedar wood and it's less than a year old; however, we now know we should have gone with the composite. We are now wanting to re-done in composite using as much of the current materials, i.e., black railing, to cut down on cost.

Hi. I have a large elevated deck that wraps around a single-family home. I have concerns about the structural integrity of the deck, so I'd like to find out if it's safe, and if not, how much it would cost to make it safe. Thanks in advance!
