Deck Railings That Define Your Space: Choosing the Right Material

Building your dream deck means creating a custom look. Every detail matters, especially the deck railings!​

Here at Blackrock Decks, we don’t build wooden railings that warp, rot, and leave splinters in your hands. We are installing top-of-the-line railings that are also aesthetically pleasing and thoughtfully designed.

Whether you want to elevate your deck to look sleek and modern or warm it up with a railing stylezthat matches your cozy vibe, we’ve got plenty of options. Plus, with over four decades of experience, we have the knowledge to assist you in choosing the railing that works best for your needs, lifestyle, and overall deck aesthetic.

Classic Composite

Composite railing is low-maintenance, strong, and dependable. Similar to our composite decking, composite railing is made of blended materials that contain no wood fibers, making them resistant to water, mold, and splintering. We offer two varieties of composite railings with Trex Select and Trex Transcend.  ​

The Trex Select railing features white composite posts and black aluminum balusters, boasting the classic, clean deck aesthetic. It is an affordable option that is durable, long-lasting, and easily maintained.​

If you want to keep the classic look but are looking for more customization, the Trex Transcend composite railing is for you. The customization options are endless, including options for the balusters, rails, posts, and post caps. With the same durability and easy maintenance as the Trex Select railing, you will be sure to find the perfect match for your deck!

​Sleek Steel

If you want a modern, streamlined deck, choose one of our steel railings. They offer a cooler look compared to a composite railing’s warmth.​

Steel railings are built to withstand the wildest of weather, from the harsh winters to the hot summers that we get here in Utah.  

Our Cinch railing is an affordable option that offers exceptional strength and durability, along with ultra-low maintenance.  It is triple power-coated in black satin steel that stays beautiful throughout its lifespan.  ​

Our MetalWorks Horizontal steel railing takes the sleek look of steel and adds a contemporary touch. It elevates your deck with horizontal railing balusters rather than the classic vertical balusters. This offers a more open view without eliminating any of the safety that a railing needs to provide.  ​

Horizontal railings are trending right now in the home improvement sector, so plan to see more outdoor spaces with this look!

Elevated Aluminum

If you want the ultimate choice in customization paired with extreme durability and modern or even futuristic styles, our two aluminum railing options have it all.  ​

Our Trex Signature railing offers traditional vertical balusters, industrial-style mesh inlays, horizontal rods, or a luxe glass center, giving you an unobstructed view of the beautiful Utah landscape.

Similarly, our Precision railing is strong and versatile with over a dozen options, including cable, hog panel, mesh, and glass.

If you’re looking to create harmony between your modern deck and the surrounding environment, these two railing systems are what you need!
