    Ever heard of a deck cap rail? If you haven’t, don’t worry. We’re about to change the way you look at your deck’s finishing’s, forever.

     

    What is a deck rail cap?

     

    A deck rail cap is the finishing of a deck that often includes covering the railing and ends with a material of choice. Choose from wood, plastic, or even metal finishing styles for your deck’s rails. It is a great way to add the final touches to your back yard and deck renovation.

     

    Deck rail caps can be customized in many different ways. For instance, you could leave the top rail of your deck smooth and on one level. Or, you could add intermittent deck posts and caps to give your deck a little more character.  These simple but thoughtful ideas are what can help your deck become a large feature in your home.

     

    How to install deck rail caps?

     

    Installing deck rail caps is actually easier thank you think. All you need is some strong adhesive glue, gloves, and the correct measurements. Simply align your deck rail caps to the ends of your handrail cover and slowly apply. Use packaging tape on the cap until the glue has had time to set. And voila, you are done!

     

    Do I need to maintain my deck rail caps?

     

    The beauty of installing deck rail caps is that they need minimal maintenance after their installed. Depending on the type of material they are made of, deck cap rails should last for several years. Check with your supplier on how long your chosen deck cap rail typically lasts.

     

    So, if you’re looking to keep busy over the Winter months, then consider installing some of your very own deck rail caps. Summer will never be better with a jazzed-up deck for family friends to gather on.
