It used to be that wrought iron railing was considered old and outdated
and not what today's home owners would ever consider for their deck railing.
Well, think again. I have seen some very stylish and low maintenance wrought iron railing systems guaranteed to make your deck stand out from the crowd.
The
iron is protected with a durable powder coated finish so unless you scrap
it down to the underlying metal it will loook good for years and years.
Today's wrought iron railing systems are also designed to be installed as sections between traditional wood posts. Its a great look between the texture and style of metal with the softer warmer feel of wood.
![]() Classic Balusters |
Here is what I mean. You can get these durable enamel coated balusters that look like wrought iron but never rust, are less expensive and fit into a do-it-yourself wood railing design. See more ideas...
![]() Colonial Balusters |
Or here is a bit of a twist on these pickets to change to look just enough. This starts to incorporate some of the old world architectural look or real wrought iron. Does this work for your deck? See more ideas...
![]() Arc Balusters |
A slight arc to these pickets and again, a completely different look. These sectional inserts are great. Arc baluster available in Black and Bronze. See more ideas...
![]() Balcony Panels |
For a completely different look you can get an entire balcony panel. No individual pickets to worry about and it could be the perfect compliment to your deck depending on your location. See more ideas...
Again, these are substitutes for real wrought iron which requires regular maintenance to preven rust from taking over. But for some, only the real wrought iron railing will do.
