Deck Railings & Stairs

Complete your deck with safe, beautiful railings and properly built stairs. New Brunswick Building Code requires railings on any deck surface 24 inches (600mm) or more above grade, with a minimum height of 36 inches (900mm) for residential decks. Baluster spacing must not exceed 4 inches (100mm) — the 'can't fit a 4-inch ball through' rule protects children and pets.

Modern railing options go far beyond basic wood spindles: aluminum systems offer clean lines and zero maintenance, tempered glass panels provide unobstructed views, cable railings create a contemporary look, and composite railings match your deck boards perfectly. Local installers ensure every railing meets NB code requirements for structural loads, graspability, and spacing.
