Sometimes you have to explain yourself. Other times, the things you invest passion into may speak for you. Your summer deck can speak volumes for the time, work, and dedication you put into upgrading it.

Whether you want to adorn it with plants or a new railing, your deck can always do with some improvement, no matter how little. If you want it to match your spirit and impress your visitors, your deck offers a broad range of upgrading options. 

Choose a New Material for Your Deck RailingsSummer Deck 2

When it comes to deck railings, there are two big alternatives that every homeowner has to pick for a spectacular upgrade: wood or aluminum. Let’s break them down and see which one is the best for you!

Wood railings give your summer deck a vintage, elegant look. They usually contain high-quality materials and tell a lot about your taste. When you use wood for your deck railings, you will impress both unaware visitors and experienced deck owners alike.

Unfortunately, for that elegant look, you have to pay a hefty price. We’re not only referring to the cost of the wood materials, but to the frequent upkeep that you will have to ensure for your newly-upgraded deck. Wood decks need regular cleaning, staining, and sealing to ensure its long-term resistance.

A cost-effective alternative to wood railings is installing aluminum railings instead. They need less frequent maintenance, and they come in a wide range of colors, designs, and open to custom-made features.

The only thing that you will need to take into consideration if you install aluminum railings on your summer deck is to apply a powder finish coat to reduce the occasional wear and tear.

Change the Design of Your Summer DeckSummer Deck 5

If you want to go another step ahead in upgrading your summer deck, you can consider changing the design of its railings. Again, here you will have to choose between a wire deck design and a classic, wooden one.

An open, wire deck design will surely impress your guests, especially if the area surrounding your deck is an eye-catching one. Whether you choose steel or aluminum as the main material in your deck, you can also use cables and bolts to hide possible design flaws.

Cable decks tell others that you are a modern homeowner who is not afraid to accept and adopt innovations in deck design.

However, if you prefer the classic decor with wooden railings, your deck will not speak anything worse about you either. A wood deck shows elegance, style, and timeless luxury.

At GTA Decks, we encourage our customers to test new and old designs to find out which model suits their summer deck the best. We want our customers to feel comfortable regardless of their choice of deck railings and materials.

Vinyl

Some homeowners, who want to upgrade their summer deck on a budget, prefer using vinyl instead of wood railings. While it is a popular and cost-effective solution, vinyl does not have the same imposing elegance that wood railings have.
