Deck Railing FAQs

Get answers to common questions about deck lighting, from safety and style to installation. Light up your space with confidence.

Deck rail installation can take up to a few days, depending on the size and design of your deck. Large decks with complex designs typically take the longest to complete. We'll provide an accurate estimate for your deck railing installation so that you can plan accordingly.
Yes, you will need a railing for safety reasons. It's mandated by law in Ohio and West Pennsylvania to have deck railings. In Ohio, the Residential Code of Ohio (RCO) says you need railings if your deck is at least 30 inches off the ground. In West Pennsylvania, we follow the Uniform Construction Code (UCC), and guardrails are required if the deck is at least 36 inches off the ground.
At Shly Deck and Fence, we use high-quality materials, such as aluminum and cable wire, for our deck railings. Our team can customize your deck railings to suit your property's needs, budget, and desired look. Contact us today to get started!
