# Deck Railing

Published 2026-08-17

Three railing systems carried alongside the decking, with the panel and post sizes as published.

## Stainless steel cable railing

Cable railing using non-swage fittings, taken up as a project by project system rather than a stock size.

## Glass railing system

The glass system combines hardwood rail posts and cap with stainless fittings and tempered glass for the least obstructed view from a deck. It suits both new construction and retro-fits, is available in 36 and 42 inch heights, uses 3/8 inch tempered glass with bevelled edges, and the glass can be made in custom widths.

*Glass railing components*

| Component | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Glass clamp, type 316 stainless | — | $24.50 each |
| Bevelled tempered glass | 3/8" x 36"W x 30"H | $125.00 each |
| Bevelled tempered glass | 3/8" x 48"W x 30"H | $156.00 each |

## Powder coated steel railing

Built from high strength steel and powder coated, this panel system is a sturdier and more open answer than a built-up wood rail. It suits new construction and retro-fits, uses an open three rail panel, and takes optional decorative accent rings.

*Steel railing components*

| Component | Finish | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3' x 8' flush top and bottom rail panel | Black | $128.50 each |
| 2" x 2" x 57" steel rail post with cap | Black | $26.50 each |
| Flat back mounting bracket with bolt, 6 pack per panel | — | $12.00 pack |
| 4x4 (3-1/2" x 3-1/2") Ipe rail post | — | $46.00 each |

## Post caps

Designer Rail post caps match the aluminium balusters. They are made in the United States from C1022 steel, are maintenance free, and come in four colours; the textured powder coat is low matte rather than high gloss, so the look and feel is closer to painted iron, copper and bronze. They fit 4x4 posts at 3-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches and are set with construction grade adhesive, with minor modification to the post sometimes needed depending on the species.

*Designer Rail post caps*

| Code | Finish | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 89780-PW | Pewter textured powdercoat | $19.95 |
| 89780-BL | Black textured powdercoat | $19.95 |
| 89780-CP | Antique copper powdercoat | $19.95 |
| 89780-BZ | Pyrite and bronze textured powdercoat | $19.95 |

Building requirements for railing vary by state, city and county, and the local requirement is checked before any railing system is set out.
