We replaced this deck for an engineer and he was very happy with the result! He went with Trex Spiced Rum decking. We built a planter box and a built in bench out of the same material. There are two different railings here. The one by the house is white Trex Signature aluminum railing. It, along with the white riser boards, accent the house colors. The one by the hot tub is a combination of materials. It has the bigger composite post sleeves in black, a Spiced Rum color 2×4 “cocktail rail” on top, and the Signature aluminum infill for the balusters and bottom rail. The lights we installed were from the previous deck, they still worked so we re-installed them on the new deck. The end result was a big upgrade to the back yard area!
