Handrail Options for Your Outdoor Space
The rear deck of a home is a very important space, as it can be used for entertaining, family barbecues, or a quiet place to relax. Choosing the right size, shape, and materials to suit your needs is key. Part of that includes choosing a suitable handrail—one that fits your budget, and your style.
Handrails can be as simple as the cost-effective pressure-treated spindles, or as elaborate as custom-made stainless steel. Some of the more popular choices are aluminum and vinyl handrail systems. Both of these options allow for different-sized posts and spindles.
Or, if the contemporary glass look is more your style, you might choose glass panels instead of spindles. Glass panels are also a great way to enjoy a full view of your backyard.
Be sure to discuss the best options for your budget and style with your builder early in the home building process.
