Ideas For Deck Designs - Wood Deck Railings - Balusters

The balusters of your railing give your deck its unique look
The pickets are the individual components that make up the ballustrade of deck railings. There are a lot of possibilities here depending on your budget, tastes and objectives.

The building code has minimum requirements for deck railings and the horizontal load requirements for railing sections are surprisingly high. If you use wood balusters, you might be able to get away with using 1" thick material but to be safe you should use 2x2s.

For a less obtrusive look, use aluminum or wrought iron balusters. They can be thinner because they are so strong and give you a more open view...
