Picket Rail

The standard picket rail has a top rail and bottom rail and full height vertical pickets. It has the contemporary square top rail which is a low 2″ profile and a very clean look. A popular and economical upgrade is to add a midrail. This provides a more custom look than the big box standard style.

Contemporary Square is our standard style and is the most popular. It has a low 2″ profile and a very clean look. Additionally, there are many other picket rail styles to choose from such as a low or wide profile rails or a custom profile like the colonial railing. For those that desire a wood cap, while RailPro does not provide the wood, we can set our rails to accept a wood cap by others.

The standard rail picket is 5/8″ square. You can choose to replace any or all the pickets with a large variety of styles. Some of the most popular styles are

Wide Slate Picket Rail – often chosen to achieve the look of the wood 11/2″ picket

Belly Picket Rail – this has a bow in the pickets from slight to extreme

Twisted Picket Rail – full twist or partial in the pickets

Scroll Picket Rail – adds a bit of flair tod your pickets at a low cost

As an alternative to the standard rail post, RailPro provides a wide variety of sizes and styles of newel posts to accent your rail. The use of the newel post can make a powerful visual impact on your railing. Ranging in size from 2 1/2″ all the way up to 12″, all of our newel posts are made from aluminum and do not rot, unlike wood newel posts.

Ornaments such as collars, scrolls, or midrails can be added to enhance the look of your rail.
