What Is the Best Type of Wood for Outdoor Stair Railings?
Choosing the right wood for your outdoor stair railings ensures durability, safety, and long-lasting appearance.
Top choices for outdoor stair railings include:
- Pressure-treated pine: Cost-effective, widely available, and treated to resist rot and insects
- Cedar: Naturally weather-resistant and lightweight, with a warm, rustic look
- Redwood: Strong, beautiful, and naturally resistant to decay and warping
- Ipe: Extremely durable and dense, with a premium appearance and lifespan
- Douglas fir: Used in select applications when sealed properly, offering good strength and visual appeal
What’s the Difference Between Guardrails and Handrails?
Guardrails are barriers designed to prevent people from falling off elevated surfaces, such as decks, balconies, or platforms. Handrails are there to help people maintain balance and provide support, especially when using stairs or ramps. While they each have their own job, many spaces require both guardrails and handrails to ensure safety for everyone.
Can Wood Railings Be Painted or Stained?
Wood railings can be either painted or stained, depending on the style and protection you’re looking for. Staining brings out the natural beauty of the wood grain while also protecting it from UV rays and moisture, making it a popular choice for a more organic look.
Painting allows you to completely customize the color of your railings and provides full coverage for a bold or classic finish. Whatever you choose, we’ll make sure to properly prepare and finish your wood railings so they complement your space.
Can You Replace Just the Top Rail on the Railing?
It’s possible to replace just the top rail on a wood railing, as long as the rest of the railing system is in good condition and meets safety standards. This can be a great option if the top rail is damaged, worn out, or you simply want to update its look without replacing the entire railing. Our team will carefully inspect the existing structure to ensure it’s stable and up to code before proceeding.
