| We are in the beginning stages of planning a deck. I used gardenweb during our kitchen renovation and found these forums extremely helpful so I am looking for help again.
I think we will be going with a dark looking composite decking. My husband would like a railing that is white balusters with a dark top rail. I think we would like the railing to be a non-wood material. Can anyone suggest a railing system where we don't have to buy two products, to then mix & match what we want but toss the extras? Really appreciate any thoughts. Lyn |

| Lyn, when i was planning my deck I looked at several and would have selected Timbertech based on recommendation here and from people have have had composite decks (we ended up using Ipe in the end). I looked into moistureshield (recommended by J Hyatt) but they do not distribute locally. I would stay away from TREX (google "trex lawsuits") I kept links to several websites that you may find helpful for design ideas and who have contributed to Gardenweb or Contractortalk * John Hyatt: http://deckmastersllc.com/ location Oklahoma City, OK * Brooklyndecks: http://urbanexteriors.biz/ location Brooklyn, New York * Deckkman22: www.alscustomdecks.com location Austin,Texas * Builtby Mac: www.builtbymac.com location Eugene, Oregon * Greg : http://www.bergendecks.com/ location Bergen County, New Jersey (seems to do more composite) Best wishes Steve
