About This Project

We completed a modern backyard railing upgrade, combining frameless glass railings with aluminum picket railings to create a safe, stylish, and low-maintenance outdoor space. The goal was to replace outdated wooden railings while preserving open views and adding a clean, contemporary look to the deck and staircase.

This hybrid system delivers both transparency and structure, making it an ideal solution for elevated decks surrounded by greenery.
