What are the Composite Deck Railing Options?

Composite deck railing is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood, specifically designed to withstand harsh weather conditions like those found in Nebraska. At Big Pine Decks, these railings are crafted from up to 95 percent recycled wood fibers and plastic, providing a splinter-free and fade-resistant surface.

Key features and options for composite railings include:

Weather Resistance: They are rot-proof and resist moisture, UV exposure, and insects, with a lifespan ranging from 25 to 50 years.

Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, composite materials do not require painting, staining, or sealing. Cleaning only requires simple soap and water.

Design Styles: Options include horizontal wood-composite hybrids for a Craftsman look, or integration with contemporary features like flat-top drink rails which are 1.5 to 2 inches wide for holding beverages.

Safety and Aesthetics: These systems use hidden fasteners for seamless aesthetics and are installed according to NADRA guidelines to ensure code-compliant baluster spacing.

While composite railings have a higher upfront cost than cedar, they significantly reduce long-term maintenance expenses while offering a warm, wood-like appearance.
