Re: Manufactured Deck Railings Look Good, But Do They Last?
TO M Fournier,
posted: 5:12 pm on January 15thThanks for the comments. I do agree with the approach and in fact am not building the deck myself so your comments are particularly relevant. My only previous experience was with wrought iron and it has certainly served the purpose and done so without really affecting the view at all. I had pretty much decided this time around to go with vinyl but as cost is always a prime consideration I just wasn't sure how the various options compared and was looking to save some time. I was also concerned that I would miss an option that has developed or where prices have fallen since we did our previous deck. I appreciate the time you took to contribute.
