Deck railings provide an essential safety element to Orange County decks. They also offer a way to accessorize or add beauty to the deck at the same time. Usually, deck railings consist of mere posts, spindles, and the top rail. But while that is functional; it is boring. Liven up your Orange County deck with a railing design that adds interest and safety.
One Fish, Two Fish
When building by the beach, incorporate a beach theme. Check out the deck railings on this beautiful Orange County deck!
This deck offers an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. Traditional railings and posts would block the view. And, because most posts and rails are wood, they would require continual waterproofing.
Wood and water don’t live together in harmony.
Bring on the fish! The fishy-themed deck railing matches the natural environment (even if it sports fish out of water) without inhibiting the view. You still enjoy the breeze, the sound of the water, and the amazing scenery.
Satisfy the safety code? Check! Top railing meets requirements, (at least 36″ from the surface of the deck) so you rest assured everyone is safe.
I Can See Clearly Now
You’ll catch yourself humming the old song, I Can See Clearly Now, with glass, plexiglass, or acrylic deck panels from Crank Waterproofing.
Think outside the box! Deck railings made from clear panels are still deck railings – they just do the job differently.
And the difference is clear. This rooftop deck treats the owners to an incredible coastline view. And, their clear panels make the most of this view. Whether you are standing or sitting, you enjoy a completely unadulterated vista of mountains meeting the ocean.
Clear panels provide an unusual alternative to traditional railing away from the oceanside too. Clear panels give the illusion that this small deck is larger than it is in reality. With no barrier to break the line of sight, the brain incorporates the space outside as inside the deck. Neat trick, huh?
See how it works here as well? Because this deck is already shaded, the clear panels let in as much light as possible.
Shake, Shake, Shake
Not all panels must be clear. This rooftop deck meets safety requirements by using a wall for the deck railings.
Unconventional? Yes. Beautiful? You bet!
Cedar shake does the job on the deck above, but a stucco finish would work just as well. As long as the top is at least 36″ from the deck you meet the international safety code.
