Your porch railings will inevitably become dirty over time, but don’t worry. Whether it’s a cloud of pollen that’s settled on them, a light dust storm, or the residue from a family barbecue, vinyl porch railings are easy to clean off. They can be power washed when dirty, and they don’t require staining or painting every other year.

If you are thinking about vinyl porch railings, either to replace some existing railings or as a summer project now is a great time to place your order! These kits are easy to install for any homeowner over a weekend or two.

Vinyl Porch Railings Add Character

A glance through any popular home decor magazine shows homes with a variety of different architectural styles. But what many of these homes have in common is a front porch.

If you love to decorate, a new porch railing can instantly add to your curb appeal. Seasonal decorations have a unique backdrop up against a new deck, and a new vinyl railing is a perfect place to wrap some Christmas garland or lights.

Just like white picket fences and front walkways, porches and railings are quintessential in American home decor. Even if your home is 100 years old or so new that it doesn’t have all of the landscaping in yet, a porch with vinyl railings can provide that classic finished look. Our kits come in classic white, a color combination that always looks beautiful.

With just a little elbow grease on your end, new vinyl porch railings can take a home from boring to impressive in just a weekend. By adding new vinyl porch railings, the porch can become a clearly defined living space that extends into the front or back yard. Instead of being merely a thruway to your front door, railings and outdoor decorations can invite visitors to stay and chat awhile on your front porch.

Vinyl Porch Railings Increase Safety

In addition to adding character to a home, porch railings also provide a valuable service for homeowners. Vinyl porch railings increase the safety and security of a home or porch. Reinforced by aluminum and held in place by top and bottom reinforced aluminum stiffeners, these railings are sturdy and reliable.

Adding vinyl porch railings can increase the safety of elderly visitors. Railings can provide a helping hand up the stairs so that your guests can safely navigate to your front door without accidents. Proactively installing railings as a safety measure before you need them for an elderly relative is also a helpful way to reduce your liability. In icy weather, hand railings provide extra support for anyone trying to maneuver up perilous steps.

With a small doggie gate and vinyl porch railings, small pets or children can be corralled on the porch safely while still enjoying some time outside. A porch or a deck elevated even just a little bit above the ground could be a disaster waiting to happen for anyone who might trip or fall off of the porch. Properly installed vinyl porch railings are sturdy and reliable and can provide great peace of mind for homeowners.

Because vinyl porch railings are smooth to the touch, you don’t have to worry about splinters catching on sweaters, shirts, or hands. Wooden balusters must be sanded and painted occasionally to keep them looking beautiful, which can be a thankless, tedious task. Vinyl porch railings, like all vinyl products, are meant to last without sanding or painting. They resist fading and also bend without breaking on impact. They will add to your home’s safety and security for decades to come.

Vinyl Porch Railings Can Increase Security

Adding or replacing vinyl porch railings is a great way to slow down a “porch pirate.” If you get a lot of packages, putting up railings may be a way to impair potential thieves from casually walking up and taking packages. Policemen often call this the “Out of sight, out of mind” solution to theft. If a package is harder to see or harder to get to, it becomes a natural deterrent for criminals.

Porch railings add an additional barrier between the public and your private space, while still adding to your home’s value. Additionally, you can see through the railings and know who’s coming up the walkway, while also defining the porch as a more private space. You can add to your indoor living space while also creating a more defined boundary with the public in the outdoors.

If you are replacing a rotting deck or porch, and your deck or porch didn’t meet the code before, you may need to replace the entire structure. This could be a great time to seize the moment and upgrade to vinyl porch railings. Keeping your deck in excellent shape adds to your home’s value. If you’ve ever tried to buy a property with a rotting deck and railings, you know how quickly that can sour the deal! Stay on top of your property’s maintenance by taking care of rotten decks and railings.

You should consult with local building codes to make sure your porch or deck complies with all building laws. Local building codes may determine how tall your railings are, how high your porch can be before you must add railings, or even how far apart your railings can be. Our vinyl porch railings are easy to install and code compliant for both commercial and residential buildings. At Fencing Direct, we want you to be satisfied for years and years with your beautiful vinyl porch railings.
