DECK PACKAGES - Railings

Finish off a new deck or replace the railing on your existing deck with one of these simple to build, functional styles. Totem railings are available in a wide selection of types and styles so you can match your deck perfectly. Decide on an “open” or “solid” style and choose from plain or sculptured palings. Each deck railing material package is priced per lineal foot and can be calculated for your exact deck size. All Totem railings are 42" high from the deck surface.

Pre-Cut Railings in a Wide Selection

Totem stocks a great collection of pre-cut railing boards (palings) for a unique and attractive finish to your deck. Choose from plain 1x6, 2x2, 5/4x4 or sculptured palings in various styles. A separate railing material package, one for each style of paling, has been pre-planned and is easily calculated for any deck size. Or, if you have a specific railing style in mind, custom designs are no problem. We can work out a new material package for you, done to your exact specifications. See the display at the Totem store nearest you.

Solid Base or Open Base Packages

Solid Base - 42" solid base kits are the simplest to build. With 4' palings attached directly to the deck fascia. A 2x4 nailing strip (on edge) and 2x4 or 2x6 handrail (flat) are included to properly finish the top.

Open Base - 42" open base kits feature strong 4' uprights attached to the deck fascia every 4 feet and 3' palings evenly spaced in between. This style more closely resembles a fence and leaves an open space at the bottom for easy snow removal in winter. Also included are 2x4 lower and 2x2 upper nailing strips and a 2x4 handrail on top.
