For safety and style, this elevated cedar deck was designed and built with matching cedar rails and metal balusters. Notice the deck lights mounted on the deck rail posts. Project by Archadeck of West County and St. Charles County in St. Louis Mo.

Timbertech Evolutions composite decking and white powder coated aluminum railings create a fun and extremely low maintenance outdoor living environment. Doug Woodside

Aluminum and glass rail rails not only provide protection from the wind but they secure your view. Bronze is a earth tone color that blends well with the natural backgrounds of the Northwest. 36" high rails are code for residential applications. We used a 42" high rail in this project for the added comfort it provides when dining on this deck. 42" high is the rail height you experience in commercial establishments with outdoor dining areas.

To give the sophisticated drama that best expressed their clients, Deck and Patio installed TimberTech’s “Radiance Rail.” Long Island deck builders, The Deck and Patio Company framed deck with TimberTech’s “Radiance Rail” railing to complement deck and patio. www.deckandpatio.com

At Archadeck of Nova Scotia we love any size project big or small. But, that being said, we have a soft spot for the projects that let us show off our talents! This Halifax house was no exception. The owners wanted a space to suit their outdoor lifestyle with materials to last far into the future. The choices were quite simple: stone veneer, Timbertech composite decking and glass railing. What better way to create that stability than with a solid foundation, concrete columns and decorative stone veneer? The posts were all wrapped with stone and match the retaining wall which was installed to help with soil retention and give the backyard more definition (it’s not too hard on the eyes either). A set of well-lit steps will guide you up the multi-level deck. The built-in planters soften the hardness of the Timbertech composite deck and provide a little visual relief. The two-tone aesthetic of the deck and railing are a stunning feature which plays up contrasting tones. From there it’s a game of musical chairs; we recommend the big round one on a September evening with a glass of wine and cozy blanket. We haven’t gotten there quite yet, but this property has an amazing view (you will see soon enough!). As to not spoil the view, we installed TImbertech composite railing with glass panels. This allows you to take in the surrounding sights while relaxing and not have those pesky balusters in the way. In any Canadian backyard, there is always the dilemma of dealing with mosquitoes and black flies! Our solution to this itchy problem is to incorporate a screen room as part of your design. This screen room in particular has space for dining and lounging around a fireplace, perfect for the colder evenings! Ahhh…there’s the view! From the top level of the deck you can really get an appreciation for Nova Scotia. Life looks pretty good from the top of a multi-level deck. Once again, we installed a composite and glass railing on the new composite deck to capture the scenery. What puts the cherry on top of this project is the balcony! One of the greatest benefits of composite decking and railing is that it can be curved to create beautiful soft edges. Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the water. If you want to know more about composite decking, railing or anything else you’ve seen that sparks your interest; give us a call! We’d love to hear from you.

This beautiful Island villa with amazing views of the ocean required a cable railing that would not obstruct the view. The Ithaca style was chosen for the clean lines and super slim posts. Railings by Keuka Studios Photography by Brilliant Studios in Turks and Caicos
