Modern Style Meets Heavy-Duty Durability - Transform your deck with the sophisticated look of the DekPro Rod-Rail System. Also known as "Rod Railing" or "Horizontal Baluster Railing," this system offers the open, unobstructed views of cable railing but with the solid strength of aluminum.
Unlike cable systems that require regular tightening and maintenance, DekPro Rod-Rail uses solid 5/8" aluminum rods that never sag, rust, or require tensioning. It is the perfect low-maintenance solution for homeowners and contractors looking for a high-end, contemporary aesthetic.

How to Order Your Rod-Rail System
The DekPro Rod-Rail system is customizable to fit your specific project. To build a complete section, you will need to add the following components to your cart:
1. Choose Your Rod Infill Kits
These kits contain the horizontal rods, connectors, and mid-rail supports.
2. Top and Bottom Rails
Important: Do not use standard Prestige Rail Kits (which are pre-drilled for vertical balusters). You must use Blank Rails for the Rod-Rail system.
