Fortress Railing

7 years ago

We are renovating our deck with pressure treated wood. We were going to use this railing system. I see that it is in aluminum and steel. I have read some things about the aluminum corroding when used with pressure treated wood. Is this true? Have you used the steel railing system?

When pine decking was treated with CCA and ACQ, there were issues with metal corroding over time. Today's treated decking is mostly MCA or MCQ, which shouldn't cause the same issues.
