You can choose from wood, aluminum, composite, and many other materials. Our Fairway Railing Collection offers four primary materials and a straightforward process for choosing the perfect deck railing for your deck project. Join us as we explore our railing and our new guide on how to select the right one for your home or deck project.
Enhance Your Outdoor Space with the Fairway Railing Collection
For over twenty years, we have been manufacturing deck and porch railings that offer homeowners, contractors, and builders a product that combines style, craftsmanship, and safety. We have decided to rebrand our deck and porch railings to include more versatility options and a streamlined naming system that is easy to understand while continuing to craft railings that are a perfect blend of design versatility, precision craftsmanship, and adherence to the highest safety standards.
Explore our E-Fit™ Railing Innovations to see these new products that make installing deck railing up to 300% faster.
Aluminum
Our Designer Aluminum Railing is one of the most popular types of deck railing on the market, and it’s no surprise why. It’s one of the most durable options, able to withstand harsh weather conditions, and won’t rust, splinter, or warp over time. While being strong, it’s also lightweight, making it easier to handle for installation compared to other materials. The AAMA 2604 powder-coated finish gives the railing superior protection for your home against Mother Nature, pets, and children.
Not only does choosing our Designer Aluminum provide extreme durability, but it also offers tons of versatility. Six infill options, three color choices, and accessory options like lighting, gates, and a drink rail meet nearly any aesthetic you can dream up.
Designer aluminum is durable, requires little maintenance, and is DIY-friendly. Our friends at Stud Pack are huge fans of this deck railing system and our horizontal baluster infill. Check out their video to see why this infill is a great option for your next deck project.
Steel
Modern Steel Railing delivers ease with pre-welded, fully assembled rail panels that install in minutes, making it a top choice for pros and DIYers alike. Like our aluminum railing, Modern Steel features a powder-coated finish for increased durability and minimal maintenance, allowing homeowners to enjoy their space more. Its versatile design lets these pre-assembled panels integrate seamlessly as infill for vinyl, composite, or wood constructions. If you love entertaining, you’ll appreciate the integrated drink holder option that adds functionality to your outdoor gatherings.
Composite
If you want to mimic the look and feel of real wood, composite railing is the right choice for you and is a long-lasting material. Perfect for extreme weather conditions in any climate, you won’t have to worry about twisting, rotting, or splintering like you would with real wood. Plus, composite is extremely low-maintenance, and the color you select is designed to hold up for long-term use, with no refinishing necessary. Larger profile rails and post covers make composite railing an excellent option for those wanting more privacy compared to other profiles.
With two composite railing options, you are sure to find the perfect rail to complement your deck. Let’s explore these options below.
Designer Composite Deck Railing
The natural charm of this classic composite railing makes it the perfect option for those who want to customize. Not only do you get the choice between five different infills, but you also have the feature of a two-piece top rail, which is ideal for in-rail lighting. Plus, you get the option to customize your space even further with a drink rail and multiple post cap options, and the option of adding a gate.

Vinyl
If you’re searching for a versatile and affordable classic-looking railing, vinyl is the solution for you. Lightweight and easy to work with, vinyl is perfect for nearly any project.
