It\u2019s a more cost-effective option than aluminum deck railing. An existing treated pine deck can be upgraded or refurbished with composite railing when it is time for significant deck repairs. And it is popular with composite decks too, of course.<\/p>\n Many homeowners install full composite railing \u2013 composite top and bottom rails with composite balusters. But here\u2019s an idea.
