This "rocking Chair open porch" just got more relaxed with an upgrade to vinyl railings from wood

Archadeck of Greater Atlanta recently upgraded the wooden railings that surrounded the open porch  with vinyl railings. This home is located on a Cumming, GA.,  horse farm . The main concern for the homeowners was the upkeep and continuous maintenance of the existing wood railings. We were able to halt the revolving door of constant painting and upkeep by installing all new vinyl rail to the entire perimeter.

Vinyl offers minimal maintenance and is easy on the eye.

These homeowners are now sitting pretty with a new rail to this open porch that exudes plenty of southern charm. The upgrade will allow these Cumming homeowners to enjoy the view from their porch while watching their horses without having to worry about the railing.

Atlanta zen deck with double pergolas and planter

Archadeck decks are built to a 60 lb live load - that's 50% stronger than the requirement. This Sandy Springs GA. deck with double pergolas built by Archadeck of Greater Atlanta offers beauty and safety

Decks can collapse if they’re built the wrong way by the wrong builder. You may remember the deck crash in Marietta last year. At least five people were injured by the deck pulling away from the wall, falling backwards toward the home, and then landing atop them.

Our decks are so structurally sound you can have the whole neighborhood on your deck with not a care in the world.

Is your deck safe?. Unfortunately, you may be right to worry. Georgia  is one of only two states left that require only a 40 lb PSF live load. In other states, the requirement is a 60 lb PSF live load. And to add insult to injury, most builders are not GA licensed builders. Some that are licensed don’t have the means to evaluate what live load levels they’re building to which means they are going by what city inspectors will allow them to build as their gauge.
