Building deck handrails is an important part of deck construction, as they provide safety and support for those using the deck. Handrails also add a decorative touch to the deck, and can be customized to match the style of the house and landscape.
There are many different types of deck handrails, including wood, metal, and composite materials. Wood handrails are the most common and traditional type, and can be made from a variety of woods, including cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Metal handrails are more durable than wood handrails, and can be made from aluminum, steel, or wrought iron. Composite handrails are made from a combination of wood and plastic, and offer the best of both worlds in terms of durability and appearance.
