Ornamental railings that look like wrought iron can be made from stainless steel.
Whether you're looking for a railing for a new deck or replacing an existing deck railing, installing a steel deck railing will help you avoid deck accidents and it will last a long time. Steel deck railings come in a variety of styles and colors, depending on local availability. Deck railings typically come in panels, which fit together or are connected at posts. Does this Spark an idea?
Tube
If you're going for a modern look, install a steel tube railing around your deck. Steel tube deck railings are typically constructed from hollow steel tubes welded together. The diameter of the steel tube in steel tube railings varies but is typically between 1 and 2 inches. Tube railings usually feature two or more rails and often come in panels.
Cable
If you have small children or pets who might fall through a classic railing, try a steel cable railing. Steel cable deck railings typically feature a metal top rail and posts. Individual steel cables or steel cable fence fills the open areas, creating a net-like deck railing system. You can install individual steel cables closer or farther apart, depending on the look you're trying to achieve.
Ornamental
If you're hoping to increase your curb appeal and add a little decoration to your deck, look into an ornamental steel deck railing. Ornamental steel deck railings come in a variety of styles, from basic steel spaced picket designs to more elaborate wrought iron lookalikes. If you're worried about possible picket points on a steel ornamental railing, use a steel ornamental pool railing with a straight top rail instead.
Combination
If having your entire deck railing made out of steel seems a bit cold to you, pick a combination deck railing. Many deck railing panels feature posts and top rails made of other materials, such as wood, combined with simple steel pipes or more elaborate wrought iron lookalike inserts. If a pre-configured combination panel isn't for you, get creative and see which panels will fit together on your own to create a unique combination steel deck railing.
