The best railing material for your unique deck space will depend on a range of different factors. Some of the things that you should take into consideration when selecting a railing material include:
Use and Exposure
When selecting a deck railing material, it is important to consider how often the railing will be used. Since high-traffic use can often lead to nicks, dings, scratches, and more maintenance requirements, having a good idea of the wear and tear the railing will face will help you select the best long-lasting, durable option.
Environment
Since local geography can potentially impact the lasting appearance of a railing, it is always a good idea to consider how your railing material choice will be impacted by environmental factors, such as extreme temperatures, precipitation, or saltwater.
Sightlines
Depending on where you live and the views you have available from your deck, it may be worth choosing a deck railing material that provides more open sightlines. Consider selecting cable or glass railings for creating unobstructed views.
