You have a wide variety of styles and designs to choose from when it comes to accessorizing your decks and patios with railings and enclosures. You have a wide variety of choices that includes aluminum and cable deck railings, cedar and composite deck railings, wooden deck enclosures or custom enclosures. Regardless of the choice you make there are a few considerations you need to make. Cost is obviously one of them, intricate designs will cost more than ones that are not. Wood might be more expensive depending on the kind of wood you choose. Also take into consideration the rest of the house design layout. The railings and enclosures should blend in. Choose railings for their design, strength, durability and functionality.
The kind of railings you choose will depend on your lifestyle. If you are the kind of person who spends a lot of time entertaining friends on your patio or deck, you will obviously need a large and sturdy deck that can accommodate many. Size of the deck therefore is a factor that influences your railing choice. Location of the deck and the material used for deck construction also affect the choice of railings. The idea here is to match the look of the deck or patio with the railings. A combination of materials works well for certain styles, metal railings for a wooden deck is an example.
I have a wood deck, structure beneath is fine, but I want to replace wood flooring and railings with Azek. The deck has two levels: main deck 12 x 14', lower deck 14 x 19 1/2'. Boards on main deck run horizontal, lower deck diagonal.

We have a ranch style home and have recently repaired our foundation. We are looking for replacing the small concrete pad with a decent porch. Our hope is that a wooden deck will match the home and be less costly than a concrete porch.
