Deck Inspiration for 2017
The 2017 deck season is quickly approaching and DecksDirect is here to help you build better decks. It's never too early to start preparing, so we've compiled some of our favorite customer projects as inspiration for your project this year. We've also featured go-getter projects for those of you who just can't wait until winter is over.
Bring the outdoors inside with deck designs and ideas!
Winter doesn't have to be so boring, even when there's snow and freezing temps you can still get your DIY fix in. Take a look at what our customers were able to do once they took their project indoors!
Square Aluminum Balusters by Solutions
We start off with Scott’s beautiful installation of Square Aluminum Balusters by Solutions. These black balusters really make the wood railing stand out, perfectly complementing the natural look and feel of the wood. These balusters are great for any project indoors or out, because the powder coating extends over the ends of the baluster, making them maintenance-free and extremely durable. Scott's project will look great for years to come because aluminum doesn't rust and won't have any chemical reactions with his wood rails.

CableRail Assembly Kit by Feeney
Richard decided to take a modern approach to his indoor railing and installed CableRail Assembly Kits by Feeney for a low-maintenance upgrade. Cable Railing looks attractive indoors and outdoors and is a DIY-friendly way to tie together your interior and exterior living spaces. The CableRail Assembly Kit makes installing Cable Railing a simpler process as it includes a lot of the materials required for installing your cable. Included with your kit is your selected length of cable with a Threaded Terminal Fitting pre-attached, one Quick-Connect® SS Fitting, two Stainless Flat Washers and one Snug-Grip® Washer Nut. Richard also took advantage of the CableRail Stainless Steel End Caps to cover up his unsightly washers and quick-connnects.

Mesh Level Rail Panels by Wild Hog Railing
Here's Susan’s beautiful installation of Wild Hog Level Railing Panels set into a wood rail. These 4x4 mesh level rail panels are easy to install in wood, like Susan did by routing a channel into her top and bottom rails to hold the panel in place. The panels are not bulky and will give Susan excellent visibility with their designed 4” x 4” welded cross points. She is also getting a great deal by using Wild Hog because Wild Hog panels are made from 6 gauge steel that is zinc primed and powder coated, making for a maintenance-free long lasting railing installation.
Trex Transcend Composite Railing System
Rounding out the list we have Stephens’s pro-looking install of Trex Transcend Cap-Stock Composite Railing. Trex Transcend Railing is an easy to install composite system that has multiple color and infill options available. One great thing about Trex Transcend is that their infill kits have everything you will need to install round or square balusters. Stephen decided to go with the square Transcend Composite Baluster Pack in black which gave a nice, clean look to his railing. For a cohesive design, Stephen chose to complement his black balusters with a matching black Universal Bottom Rail and Universal Top Rail, which allowed him to easily use spare deck boards to create a drink rail.
