When thinking of deck renovations, sometimes the best thing to do is go simple. You can focus on the type of
wood for decking or
deck accessories, but small changes can make a big impact.
Latitudes, a leading composite decking brand, and
Deckorators, the leader in deck railing accessories, both have options for
glass deck baluster infills. A graceful alternative to the traditional wood or metal baluster, glass shouts elegance while bringing you closer to nature.
Using
glass balusters for your deck railing will provide you with an unobstructed view from your deck. No longer will those old wooden balusters keep you from taking in the scenery while relaxing on your deck.
To top off your newly installed glass deck balusters, a nice touch is to add deck
lighting using
designer solar post caps. No matter if you have 4x4 deck posts or 6x6 deck posts, there’s a post cap style for you.
Deckorators offers several attractive solar
lighting choices. From metal post caps, such as copper or stainless steel, to Tiffany-style
glass post caps. They even offer a
convertible post cap light that allows you to use either solar power or candles for accent lighting on your deck. With no wires to connect, lighting your outdoor living space is a breeze.
Consider breaking up the wooden look of your deck with faux stone post covers. Post covers help match the look of your deck to a stone house, to a backyard with stone pavers or to a
stone wall.
Adding
faux stone post covers provide a realistic high-end look. Post covers are an easy way to simulate dry stacked stone and enhance your decks appearance, and at a fraction of the cost of real stone. The high-density polyurethane covers realistically simulate the look of a dry stacked stone post. Matching deck
post caps add a finishing touch.
Faux stone post covers easily install over 6x6 or 4x4
treated wood posts and are available in several colors.
Post covers integrate easily into virtually any deck railing system or porch design. They work perfectly with wood, vinyl or composite railing.
Deck post covers are also perfect for applications under a raised deck to disguise the plain appearance of pressure treated lumber posts.

like outdoor lighting, decorative balusters and eye-catching post caps. It’s no surprise virtually every big box retailer, lumber dealer and garden house is stocking many of these unique and affordable add-ons.
