The railing is an essential part of creating a beautiful deck. Elevated decks (more than 2 feet) require railings for safety. They can be built from wood, composite, PVC, aluminum, glass, or a combination of materials. Benches provide built-in seating but can also be incorporated into a design to provide barriers between spaces or at the edge of low decks. Also, we offer stainless steel cable railings and shutters style wooden screens. Please check our railing catalog for design ideas and inspirations.

Decking Material Options.
Pressure Treated
Pressure Treated Wood is the least expensive decking available in Halifax. It is a sturdy material and termites do not prefer it, which is an added benefit. However, it takes the most maintenance of all the woods as it needs staining and power washing at least once every 2 years. It also splinters easier--so if you have children and don't want a lot of maintenance it would not be the best choice.
- Pricing: Least Expensive
- Benefits: Low Cost; Insects don't prefer it
- Drawbacks: Splinters easier; Maintenance is high.
Composite & PVC
Composite is a wood and plastic combination. Composite is probably the fastest growing material for decking. There is never a need to stain this kind of decking. The only maintenance needed is a good spray of the garden hose, or for an extremely dirty deck a power wash. This will keep your deck looking great with not much effort. Composite is for people that choose to enjoy their deck and not worry about working on it too much!
- Pricing: About 40% more than Cedar
- Benefits: Light maintenance, only needs spraying.
- Drawbacks: Somewhat more expensive.
Cedar Decking
Cedar is a beautiful golden wood! It looks beautiful after staining. Cedar has to be power washed and stained every few years to keep its luster. It is a soft wood, so you must remember if you have pets that might scratch the wood it may not be your best choice. However, for certain homes, Cedar is an excellent choice. The investment is about 20% more than Treated Wood.
- Pricing: About 50% more than PT
- Benefits: Lighter maintenance, beautiful, softwood, very visually appealing.
- Drawbacks: Scratches easier, so potentially not good for pets.
Hardwood (Ipe)
Composite is a wood and plastic combination. Composite is probably the fastest growing material for decking. There is never a need to stain this kind of decking. The only maintenance needed is a good spray of the garden hose, or for an extremely dirty deck a power wash. This will keep your deck looking great with not much effort.
