Information

The welded picket bottom aluminum rail profile is 9/16inch tall by 1-1/4inch wide and is typically set 3 inches off the deck surface. This will pass most building codes in most areas. If your area requires a different bottom aluminum rail height we can custom design a system to better fit your needs. There are several ways to close off or finish an aluminum rail system. The most common way is to use a standard end post with a standard post mount and use an end cap. By ending it this way there is no need for blocking on the building, all you need to do is attach the aluminum rail post to the deck surface.
