They are commonly installed in balconies, decks, porches, terraces, patios, walkways, and stairs.

What to Consider When Installing Picket Railings

In a basic picket rail setup, the system consists of a top rail and bottom rail with vertical pickets and a post approximately every six feet. You may choose from generic or standard rail styles most picket railing installers offer or have your railing customized. In a customized picket railing system, you may choose different options for the following elements of your picket rail:

Material
Picket railings can be made from a wide variety of materials including stainless steel, wrought or cast iron, timber, and plastic. Aluminum is superior compared to wrought iron as it is stronger and more durable.

Railing Style
Standard picket rails are the big-box style that has a top rail and bottom rail and full height vertical pickets. Picket rails with added mid-rail are popular and economical, so it’s best to choose one that works for you.

Rail Top and Post
There are many picket rail top styles to choose from — from the contemporary standard style with a low 2-inch profile to a wide profile and even a custom profile, as well as railing posts.

Rail Pickets
Although the standard rail picket is 5/8” square, you can opt to replace any or all of the pickets with a wide variety of rail picket styles such as wide slate picket rail, twisted picket rail, belly picket rail, etc.
