Wood
Pressure-treated pine, red western cedar, and exotic hardwoods like Ipe are the three main options for deck railings and decks alike. Matching the deck railing and deck materials is simple and classic. In many cases, it just works. Be prepared to clean, sand, and stain the deck railings once every few years to keep them from rotting.
Composite
Composite deck railings are made of recycled wood and plastic fibers. This low maintenance deck railing option will last longer and be less work to maintain. It can also have the look of natural wood.
Vinyl
Vinyl deck railings are durable and low in maintenance, just like composite deck railings. They come in solid, neutral colors like white, black, tan, brown, and red. Some homeowners choose to install a wood deck with vinyl railings for the best combination of affordability, low maintenance needs, and durability.
Aluminum
Aluminum deck railings add security and visibility to the views beyond the deck. If you are looking for low-maintenance, secure deck railings, aluminum is a fantastic choice. This material can be as simple or as ornamental as you like and comes in neutral colors like black, white, gray, and tan.
Glass
Glass is not used for deck railings, but rather for deck panels that replace railings. These flat panels are inserted within deck railing frames of other materials like aluminum or vinyl. The glass panels allow for full visibility to the scenic views from the deck. For ventilation, you can install louvered glass panels instead.
