Decks Without Railings

If you have a low deck, consider building it without railings to eliminate any barrier between you and your beautiful backyard.

Steps Between You and Your Yard

You paid for the view, the big yard, and the dramatic landscaping. Why put it all behind bars? When you're trying to forge indoor-outdoor connections, a deck without railings can provide the perfect seamless transition.

By including steps, design options go far beyond a boring box that looks like a backyard stage. This distinctive deck shows off a unique design created by using small 2x2 boards of clear Western red cedar. The jagged edge of the steps forms a definite boundary for the deck and adds to the styling.

When planning your outdoor design, be aware that virtually all local building codes limit the height of decks without railings for safety reasons.
