The Glass Baluster Vinyl Railing option by RDI is a great option for those who do not want to obstruct the view of their yard and still have a sleek, classy look for their deck.

The glass balusters paired with vinyl railing are durable and strong, and also great for leaning up against to enjoy the view. While sitting on your deck chair or couch, the glass baluster allows you to still look out over your yard for an unobstructed view. It is easy to install and this option in particular is tempered glass with a beveled edge. They are built for endurance and pair well with the vinyl railing. These rails can be easily mix-and-matched for other options, so you can get the desired look to complete your deck.

This vinyl deck railing idea is a good way to give your deck a distinguished look without traditional balusters if that is not your preference. Glass balusters can help to protect from the wind and other elements. They are especially great for water-facing homes where you simply can’t miss the view.

Don’t feel like you have to have a full wrap-around railing that closes you in and makes it difficult to get to and from your deck or yard.

Solar post caps paired with your vinyl deck railing is a great idea if you like to entertain into the later hours or need visibility at night. Solar post caps work like a solar panel; they use the sun’s rays for energy to produce light. They store this energy throughout the day and in the evening, after the sun has gone down, you can continue to sit out on your deck with light provided by the solar post caps. This is a great idea for vinyl deck railing systems because they are sleek-looking, easy to install, and can mix and match with regular post caps.

 

Solar post caps can add a certain ambience to your deck, providing enough light to see but nothing so harsh that it takes away from your ability to relax on your deck. These post caps are recommended for those who need lighting and are especially great if your deck includes stairs.

 

You can host a bonfire and walk away, still able to see with some light provided by these solar caps. They are a great option and will not stand out from the rest of your deck.

This vinyl deck railing idea is simple to do, yet makes all the difference in appearance. This is a great way to modernize your home and maximize your deck's uniqueness.

If you want a unique look for your deck that doesn’t involve glass or balusters, consider beams and cables. While they are not vinyl, they can be paired with Resalite, which is a composite. This is another idea for your deck which you may not see very often for residential homes, but it is a style that is unique and gaining popularity. Cables are another way to leave your view unobstructed so you can enjoy your yard, the beach, the mountains and more. They also help keep your deck safe and secure. It is a great idea for those seeking a modern look for their deck.

When paired with Resalite beams and posts, this set in particular conceals brackets in a way that is both stylish and continues to be safe. Give your deck a more modern look with cables without having to worry about the maintenance of wood or the need to clean glass balusters. Available in four colors so you can add beauty and ambience to your home.

Want the look of a wood deck without having to worry about rot and maintenance? Consider this vinyl deck railing idea with RDI’s resin based, Resalite™ core. It does not contain any wood, but still gives your deck the style and safety a regular wood deck might. It’s resistant to weather, discoloration, and sagging, making it a great option for individuals and families who want a deck to enjoy for years.

The Transform kit also has mounting brackets which are hidden upon installation, so no noticeable parts will draw your eye away from your view. It uses square balusters rather than the perceptively common rounds, and comes in satin white for a classic colonial look with a twist.

Transform has the look and feel of a wood railing without any of the concerns one might have with real wood. The exterior surface is 100% acrylic which is extremely durable, surpassing the strength of composite vinyl deck railing. In fact, bulletproof shields are made of acrylic! That is how durable these outdoor railings are so we offer a limited lifetime warranty on this kit. This is a great idea for the pragmatic individual who wants it all.

Finally, go for the classic colonial look if you are looking for vinyl deck railing ideas.

The Endurance Original Rail systems feature a 2-piece top and a 3-piece bottom level brackets for quick and easy installation.
