Picket Rail
Picket railing is the most common style of railing. A basic picket rail typically consists of a top rail and a bottom rail, with vertical pickets and a post approximately every 6 feet. At RailPro, we offer everything from generic to enhanced custom picket rail styles, in order to deliver the design look you are seeking for your deck railing. To suit your needs, you may customize any of the following elements of your picket rail:
