Balusters


Previous | Porch Guide Home | Next Section (Bottom Rail)

Balusters - Upright, evenly spaced
items between top and bottom rails.

A crisp row of orderly Balusters defines a porch as nothing else can! Use our Balustrade Installation System to install professional, easy to build porch, deck, and balcony balustrades (Rail and Baluster sections).

Large Selection
We offer a large variety of quality wood and synthetic Balusters. Size and type of Baluster is mostly a matter of personal choice. For example, do you want a light and airy balustrade or do you prefer something more substantial?

Is yours a Craftsman style home that would be best with Plain Square Balusters or do you have a Victorian style home that typically features Turned Balusters? Would you enjoy the authenticity of wood Balusters or do you favor the low maintenance of synthetic materials? At Vintage Woodworks you have choices!
