Composite decking and railing options have come a long way over the years, with various colors and design ideas to fit any homeowner’s style and structure needs. Though previously considered a more expensive option compared to wood, there is a spectrum of pricing to fit any budget and deliver long-lasting value. When considering a deck refresh or starting a backyard project from scratch, here are a few of the cool things to do with composite deck railing.
Curved Railing Creates a Modern Twist
For a modern edge, a curved railing could be the perfect solution. The Trex CustomCurve™ Bending Solution Service is offered exclusively at J&W Lumber. This innovative heating method wraps around nearly any shape and space. It allows homeowners to get creative with designing curved composite deck railings based on the template provided.
Wild Hog Railing Delivers a Rustic Appeal
The natural appeal and simplicity of Wild Hog railing create rusticity to enhance any outdoor space. With multiple colors and materials to choose from, it can be tailored to complement a home’s individual aesthetic. The durable, high-quality materials weather the elements and remain in good condition for years.
Cable Railing Supports a Sleek Look
Alternatively, for those seeking a modern approach, cable railing is a popular choice. When using black posts and a hardware top rail, the cable delivers a sleek look while also preserving a backyard view. It’s another low-maintenance, durable product that requires little more than periodically checking the cable tension.
Aluminum Railing and Decorative Lights
Another homeowner-friendly option is aluminum/metal railing, which is available in black, white, and bronze pre-made panels. To add a decorative touch, ornate lighting brightens up the space and gives it a natural-looking warmth. Here is where homeowners can stretch their style ideas and make the space feel truly their own.
Mix-and-Match Railing Offers a Unique Style
A newer outdoor decor trend is mixing and matching different metals and colors of composite deck railing. The ideas are limitless when creating an inviting area that feels original but still cohesive. Meanwhile, a cocktail railing (the placement of a deck board on top of the railing, allowing a “shelf” for drinks) further enhances the space, making it ideal for entertaining.
