Safety Comes First
A deck without railings or with loose railings feels insecure and will be a less inviting place to spend time, that’s why safety is the No.1 reason people have good railings on their decks. When replacing your deck railings, make sure to choose a type and material that is safe and compliant with local building codes.
As a renowned manufacturer of railing systems, Muzata has a thorough understanding of local regulations to ensure that our deck railings are designed and manufactured in accordance with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements. “Safety is built into all of our products,” says Mike, founder of Muzata, “from height, strength and material to the installation of railings, we ensure that our railings are installed safely and securely on the deck.”

Types of Deck Railings
What’s your style? Not all deck railings are created equal.
There are a variety of different types of deck railings you can choose from, each with its own set of benefits and architectural styles to match. Here are some of the most common types:
01. Cable deck railing
Cable deck railing is commonly used on outdoor decks and balconies, characterized by the use of stainless steel cables in place of traditional balusters or spindles found in wooden or metal railings. With slim profile, the cables offer a clean modern aesthetic and are often paired with railing posts made of stainless steel, aluminum, wood or composite.
Muzata now offers metal cable deck railings, wood cable deck railings and all-in-one cable deck railing systems, to meet the needs of different customers. Providing safety for people while offering unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape, Muzata cable deck railings have become increasingly popular in recent years.

02. Aluminium deck railing
Aluminium deck railing is an excellent choice for coastal homes because of its high resistance to rust and corrosion.
Muzata aluminium deck railings combines durability, low maintenance and a contemporary look for your deck. Made from high-quality aluminium, it’s not only lightweight and easy to install, but also incredibly durable and strong. Besides, the powder-coated finish offers durable protection against wear and tear and weather conditions.

03. Wood deck railing
If you prefer a more traditional look, wood deck railing is always a good option.
There is no doubt that wooden railings look best when matched with wooden deckings. Wood deck railing has a timeless beauty and can be easily painted to match your decking material and home exterior. But it does require regular maintenance such as cleaning or staining to keep it looking good.
Get Creative with Your Deck Railing Design
For homeowners who want their deck to be stunning and unique, in addition to painting the railings to match your home, you can also try customising your deck railing system with some decorative elements such as invisible cable railing kits, LED handrails or post caps.
For example, with Muzata LED handrails in your deck railings, you can not only keep your family and friends safe on the deck and stairs at night, but also create the perfect atmosphere for evening gatherings.
And due to the hidden design, Muzata invisible cable railing kits such as CB40,CB05 can completely hide the ugly crimp marks in the 2″x2″ metal posts, giving a truly clean look to your cable deck railing system.
In short, the potential for personalized style is limitless when it comes to adding innovative features to your deck railings.

Installation Guide: How To Replace Your Deck Railing
The first thing you need to do is prepare the tools you’re going to use, including hammer, screwdriver, crowbar, wrench, drill, tape measure, saw, etc.
Make sure you get the right size wrench, screwdriver and spirit level for the replacement process. If you don’t have the right tools, you may be able to borrow some from a friend or neighbour.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
Step One: Inspect the Old Deck Railings
A professional inspection is necessary. Check for any signs of damage or deterioration, such as rot, warping, loose boards, peeling paint or broken handrails.
Step Two: Remove the Old Deck Railings
Using a screwdriver or drill, remove the screws that secure the railing to the deck posts. With these connectors removed, lift the railing section out of its position, and set it aside for removal. Then remove the deck posts as you need.
Be careful not to damage the wood and decking while you’re doing this.
Step Three: Install The New Deck Railing
Now it’s time to install the new railing system. Start by cutting the new deck railing to size. You’ll need to measure the length and width of your deck and cut the railing accordingly.
Then simply install your new deck railing system by following the manufacturer’s instructions.
