Custom Metal Deck Railing Systems by Art Metal

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.

Types of Metal Deck Railing Systems

Aluminum Deck Railings

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 Deck Railings

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 Deck Railings

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.

Components of a Metal Deck Railing System

A complete metal deck railing system consists of several key elements, all fabricated with precision and safety in mind.

Metal Railings

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.

Metal Railing Panels

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.

Metal Deck Railing Posts

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.

Metal Balusters and Spindles

Balusters (or spindles) are vertical elements installed between rails. They can be customized in shape, spacing, and finish while meeting safety code requirements.

Driveway Gate Construction & Design Considerations

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:

Space for Vehicles

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 Direction

Swing driveway gates should always open away from traffic to ensure safety and comply with best practices.

Fence or Masonry Integration

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.
