When it comes to deck building you need a quality deck railing to complete the project. Not only are their safety factors to be mindful of, there are technical aspects to deck railing that need to be considered. There is more to deck railing installation than meets the eye. It needs to be engineered to withhold as a standalone structure. It receives the same onslaught of elements your deck receives; in Winnipeg it needs to withstand rain, snow, hail, sun, wind, humidity, insects – all sometimes within the same day!
As a local Winnipeg-based company, we understand what your deck goes through. We are a certified S.T.A.R. Systems deck railing supplier, which is what we feel is the best product on the market for your deck building project. We absolutely endorse and believe in the S.T.A.R System project – we’ve used on thousands of projects ranging from front steps, to home interiors, to commercial office space, to condominium balcony railings.
The S.T.A.R. Systems deck railing is superior to all others on the market. As a deck railing supplier, we can sell you the deck railing directly. Relative to the other construction projects, it’s easy for most DIY’s to install on their own. However, if you’re not keen on installing the railing yourself, our team is happy to work with you on your project – independently or with a deck building project.
Saves moneyNo matter who is installing your railing system because of the ease of installation – it will save you money. There are plenty of options – install it yourself for maximum savings, hire a contractor, or have our expert team complete the work for you. We’ve been using this product for years and know it like the back of our hand. Not only that, we are a railing supplier, which is a true indication that we stand behind the product.
Similar to other products we seek to use in our deck building projects, the deck railing system is no exception. The S.T.A.R. Systems railing is ultra-low maintenance. It doesn’t rust as it’s aluminum railing. It doesn’t rot or decompose. It doesn’t require repainting as the aluminum is powder-coated from the manufacturer. All of the materials used for the finish are eco-safe.
Every part of the deck railing system is designed with these main principles in mind. The aluminum railing posts are made with T6-grade aluminum alloy and heavy-duty .025” wall thickness with interior I gussets.
We’ve already covered how easy it is to install the S.T.A.R. Systems railing, but why is it so easy? Arguably, the most difficult part of any railing application is completing the railing on the stairs. However, with S.T.A.R.’s adjustable stair system, it takes the guesswork out of that part of the installation. The versatility of the railing will allow it to adjust to nearly every stair angle, further pushing the ease of installation forward.
Not only that, but the railing system is completely modular – pre-finished, knock-down railing system – and can be assembled at the job site. This makes transportation and logistics around installation simplified immensely. Anyone with a truck (or large car/SUV) can transport the material, no need for specialized shipping that can incur potential damage. As well, there’s no second-guessing measurements. If you’re on the job site, just go measure it again!
The S.T.A.R. System has primary four style options for deck railing to fit your project perfectly – glass railing, picket railing, cable railing, and interior railing.
Glass railing is our go-to option. It has the most options, most configurations, is highly versatile, can be used for any application, and allows you the capture and absorb the beauty around it. They say the best designed products are the products you never notice – and the glass railing is definitely this product.
Picket railing oozes a different kind of style. We fully realize that glass railing may not be the right choice for every deck we build or project we’re a part of. Picket railing can help restore a traditional look to any project – but it also has more modernized options. We can help you sort through them and find you a suitable look for your unique project.While you’re free to make your selection on the railing system for your project, we’re more than happy to assist you. We know the products inside and out and can help you determine the perfect railing system for your project.
Most situations call for a glass railing for maximum style. The glass railing can also be installed in a variety of ways
We can also imprint custom designs into the frosted glass furthering customizing your dream backyard space to your style. Essentially, if you have ideas or dreams for how your project will look, talk to us! We love taking your ideas and realizing them when we build your deck project.

We’re adept and have vast experience at matching a perfect combination of composite decking, deck railing, with features and custom build elements, along with accessories like in-lite LED outdoor lighting products – bringing yet another dimension to any deck we build.

Depending on your railing installation will determine the warranty on the railing. However, for most residential railing systems you’re covered for structural integrity and workmanship of the product, under normal use, for 20 years. Specifically, the powder-coated finish is warrantied to not peel, flake, blister, or crack for 10 years when used in residential applications (excluding multifamily and commercial applications).
