Art Metal Workshop Inc. specializes in custom metal deck railing systems designed to enhance safety, durability, and style. With over 20 years of experience, we design, manufacture, and install metal deck railings that stand up to Toronto’s climate while elevating the look of your outdoor space.
Whether you’re upgrading a residential deck, balcony, or multi-unit property, our metal railings are built to last — and built to impress.
Choosing the right railing material doesn’t have to be complicated. Metal deck railings offer a balance of strength, design flexibility, and low maintenance that few other materials can match.
Metal deck railings are ideal because they:
In addition to visual appeal, metal deck railings provide essential safety and privacy, making them a smart investment for any property.
Every deck is different — and so is every railing we build. At Art Metal, all metal deck railing systems are custom-fabricated to match your layout, design preferences, and safety requirements.
We work with homeowners, builders, and property managers to deliver railing systems that meet both code compliance and design goals.
Aluminum is one of the most popular materials for outdoor deck railings. It is lightweight, rust-resistant, and low maintenance, making it ideal for Toronto’s climate. Aluminum railings retain their appearance for years with minimal upkeep.
Wrought iron allows for intricate designs and decorative detailing, making it a great option for homeowners who value craftsmanship and classic aesthetics. While wrought iron requires periodic repainting for outdoor use, proper maintenance ensures long-lasting performance and timeless appeal.
Steel railings are extremely strong and durable. To protect against corrosion, steel deck railings are finished with galvanizing or powder coating. Our experts select the appropriate protective finish based on your exposure conditions to maximize lifespan.
A complete metal deck railing system consists of several key elements, all fabricated with precision and safety in mind.
Horizontal metal rails form the handrails and structural support for balusters or panels. They provide stability and define the overall look of the railing system.
Panels are an alternative to traditional balusters. Decorative patterns or designs are cut into solid metal panels and installed between posts. All designs comply with safety regulations, ensuring spacing does not exceed required limits.
Posts are vertical supports that carry the weight of the entire system. Posts can be finished with decorative caps and skirts to enhance the overall appearance of the railing.
Balusters (or spindles) are vertical elements installed between rails. They can be customized in shape, spacing, and finish while meeting safety code requirements.
The construction of the gate itself is one of the most important factors affecting overall cost. At Art Metal Workshop, we fabricate driveway gates of any size, style, and complexity — fully customized to your needs.
Key considerations include:
Gate width should comfortably accommodate daily vehicles as well as larger service or emergency vehicles. If budget is a concern, choosing a simpler design or alternative material can help control costs without sacrificing function.
Swing driveway gates should always open away from traffic to ensure safety and comply with best practices.
If your driveway gate connects to an existing fence or masonry structure, gate posts should be installed directly adjacent or slightly behind the structure. If no fence exists yet, gate placement should be planned as part of the overall design.
Metal railings combine form and function, making them one of the most reliable options for deck applications.
