This was originally a rotting cedar deck but the framing was pressure treated and in good shape. So we added joists, replaced the decking, and installed this nice new rail. The new decking is Timbertech Earthwood Evolutions Pacific walnut, the railing is pre-stained tight knot cedar in the color of walnut, and the balusters are Fortress iron metal balusters in the color of bronze. It is a very sharp looking deck!
