One of the most important decision to be made concerns the deck railing. The type of deck railing you choose has a huge affect on the final appearance of your deck.

Vinyl Railings Are The Next Step Up From Wood

The next step up from wood are vinyl railings. They are the least expensive synthetic material and offer a long range of life without any color change or deterioration.

Vinyl is actually polyvinyl chloride or PVC and has not structural integrity. PVC railings are just a skin which has galvanized steel or aluminum structural inserts to give it longitudinal strength.

The posts are usually standard 4x4s that are attached to the deck joists and framing. The vinyl post cover then slips over it to conceal the wood. The railings can usually spand up to ten feet between posts without any sagging given the strength of the metal inserts.

The only downside to vinyl railing is that the railing components may squeak as they rub together when certain force is applied. But this is something you will have to check out for yourself. On the plus side, vinyl railing will easily outlast wood railing and requires very little maintenance.

I would recommend vinyl pvc railings as a good option for home owners who are on a tighter budget but still want a longer term option over wood.
