Wood-Post Glass Deck Railing in the Pines

Not every deck wants full frameless. This mountain property called for railing that matched the timber character of the setting, so the design pairs wood posts and rails with clear tempered glass infill panels.

The brief

The owners wanted the railing to feel like part of a mountain build rather than a city install, but they didn't want pickets or cable striping the view into the pines.

What we did

We built the railing around wood posts and top rails that match the home's exterior, then fit tempered glass infill panels to each bay. Panel gaps and heights follow residential guard code.

The result

The deck keeps its cabin character, and the forest stays in full view through the glass. It sits between a full frameless system and a traditional railing, and it's the more economical option, too.
