Professional decking balustrade fitting for Devon homes - balustrades securely fitted for safety and style, completing your deck properly.
Complete Your Deck Properly
Balustrades finish a raised deck. Loose posts and inadequate fixing create safety risks. Professional fitting means balustrades you can lean on.
💡 Pro tip: Check post fixing after a few months of weathering. Timber can shrink and loosen fixings - early retightening prevents problems.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a balustrade yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Balustrade kit or components
- Heavy-duty fixings
- Spirit level
- Post fixing bolts
📐 Installation tips
- Posts must be rock solid
- Bolt through deck frame
- Level all rails
- Even spindle spacing
- Check for wobble
⚠️ Critical points
- Post fixing is crucial
- 900mm minimum height
- 100mm max spindle gaps
- Must withstand leaning
💡 Pro tip: Posts need to be fixed through the deck into the frame, not just screwed to decking boards. Surface-fixed posts will always wobble.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
