The source for all different deck railing ideas. Here you can learn about all the different options that you're familiar with and probably plenty that you've never seen before. The most common railing for a home is a wood railing made with parts that can be made by just about any carpenter. There's also wrought iron railing which is common on Mediterranean inspired houses. Glass deck balusters and cable railing are popular choices for modern architecture where the palette is mostly concrete and glass.

But on this site, I share deck railing ideas that are far from these run of the mill encounters. I've shared underwater railings and railings on safety tower, from sea to sky. Hopefully, you'll find a picture that will help to be the inspiration in your home's decor!
