Deck Railing Spindles

Small Details That Make a Big Difference

Your deck is where you unwind, host friends, and enjoy the outdoors—so every detail matters. Among the most important are your deck railing spindles, the vertical elements that shape both the safety and the overall look of your railing. They help define how open, stylish, and inviting your outdoor oasis feels.

Choosing the right deck spindle material is key. Metal pickets from Twisted Bars outperform wood in every outdoor setting. Wood can split, rot, and demand constant upkeep, while metal remains strong, sleek, and low-maintenance for years. Once finished, our balusters hold up beautifully against sun, rain, and temperature changes.

Durability Meets Visual Appeal

Metal railing spindles also allow for slimmer profiles, which open up your deck to more sunlight and broader views. Instead of thick, bulky wood balusters, you get a cleaner, less obstructed look without sacrificing safety. This subtle picket change can make your deck feel larger, brighter, and more connected to the outdoors.

Your spindle choice also influences the overall mood. Straight metal balusters produce a modern, airy feel. Twisted, hammered or shaped profiles create a cozier, enclosed atmosphere. No matter the finish or style, our iron components pair well with both natural wood and composite decking, our tree bark metal spindles in particular.
