Penticton Picket railings protect people from falls on decks, balconies, staircases and lofts. A picket railing uses evenly spaced vertical balusters (pickets) between top and bottom rails, combining strength with visibility. A picket system delivers code‑compliant safety while adding a distinctive architectural accent, especially when a top-notch team designs and installs it. Glass Project Solutions Ltd. supplies and installs picket railings for residential, commercial and multi‑family projects throughout the Kelowna, West Kelowna, Pentiton, etc. With our expertise, we make sure your railing meets Canadian building codes, withstands local climate conditions and complements the aesthetics of your space.

Penticton Glass picket railings are a combination of metal posts and transparent glass panels that allow clear views and give an elegant and modern look. They are secure, beautiful and maintenance free and are most suitable on balconies, decks and stairs so that the maximum light can penetrate through them.
We also offer steel picket railings that are strong, secure and traditional in design. From ancient times, iron has consistently proven its strength, allowing you to employ it in busy areas and provide an excellent level of security, in addition to a classic feel.
Vinyl picket railings are a low-maintenance, weather-resistant solution for the outdoors. These rails do not fade away; they only get stronger with time, giving the railing a clean and modern appearance that is ideal in any contemporary home.
Aluminum picket railings are a lightweight, rust-resistant picket railing product, and you can use them in both residential and commercial properties. The resistance of such railings, ease of servicing, and smooth, modern look make them complementary to most architectural designs.

| Parameter | Importance/Focus |
|---|---|
| Safety | The primary purpose of a railing is to prevent falls. Picket railings provide a continuous barrier that meets the 4‑inch sphere rule, ensuring children and pets cannot slip through. |
| Durability | When constructed with high-quality materials (aluminium, galvanised steel, treated wood or composite), picket railings offer decades of service. Proper coatings protect against rust and UV damage. |
| Low Maintenance | Powder-coated aluminium and composite systems require minimal upkeep—just occasional cleaning. Wood railings need periodic staining or painting, but can be maintained easily. |
| Design Versatility | Pickets come in various shapes (square, round, twisted), and rails can incorporate decorative accents. Colours can coordinate with siding, decking or architectural details. |
| Cost-Effective | Compared to frameless glass railings or stainless steel cable systems, picket railings are often more economical yet still deliver high performance and aesthetics. |
Aluminium is lightweight, corrosion‑resistant and requires minimal maintenance. Powder‑coated aluminium railings resist UV degradation and come in various colours . Aluminium pickets can be mechanically fastened or welded to the rails. Because aluminium is non‑ferrous, it is well‑suited to coastal environments or decks near pools.
Steel railings provide high strength and are often chosen for industrial or high‑load applications. Hot-dip galvanising and powder‑coating protect steel from corrosion. Steel pickets can be round or square, with decorative collars or rings for style. Posts must be properly anchored to handle the additional weight of steel.
Aluminum picket railings are a lightweight, rust-resistant picket railing product, and you can use them in both residential and commercial properties. The resistance of such railings, ease of servicing, and smooth, modern look make them complementary to most architectural designs.
Composite and PVC railing systems mimic wood but require less maintenance. They resist rot and insect damage and are often supplied in kits with hidden fasteners. The pickets may be hollow or solid; manufacturers design the rails to meet code loads.
Some contemporary designs use narrow tempered glass “pickets” instead of metal or wood. These offer visibility and wind protection. The glass panels are typically laminated or tempered safety glass to meet code; spacing between glass sections still must comply with the sphere rule.
We are providing powder-coated finishes in an extensive range of colours, two-colour choices and anodised aluminium finishes. In the case of steel, we offer hot-dipped galvanising with powder-coating that ensures long life.

Building codes specify minimum heights and load capacities for guardrails to ensure occupant safety. Although codes vary by jurisdiction, the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) generally requires guards for decks and balconies to be at least 1,070 mm (42 inches) high and to resist a uniform load of 0.75 kN per metre (51 lb/ft) with a concentrated load of 1.0 kN (225 lb) at any point without permanent deformation. For interior stairways and landings, guard height is typically 900 mm (36 inches). Posts and connections must be engineered to withstand these loads.
To prevent children from slipping through, building codes use a “sphere rule” that limits the size of openings in a railing. The International Building Code (IBC) and many Canadian jurisdictions specify that a 4‑inch (100 mm) sphere must not pass through any opening in a guard. This rule applies to spacing between pickets and between the bottom rail and the walking surface. An exception allows a 6‑inch sphere at the triangular opening between the stair tread and the bottom rail near the riser, but the 4‑inch rule governs all other gaps.
For stair handrails, the code requires a graspable rail mounted 34–38 inches above the stair nosing. A picket railing on stairs often incorporates a separate handrail on the wall or attaches a graspable rail to the top of the pickets. The top rail should be continuous and return to the wall or post to prevent clothing from snagging.
When a railing terminates at a walkway, the end post must not obstruct pedestrian traffic. The Canada Deck and Rail building codes state that an end post for picket railings, or end caps for handrails, is considered safe and will not obstruct the travel of a pedestrian. This means posts may extend beyond the top rail, provided they are properly finished.
Penticton Picket railings provide a classic solution for deck, balcony and stair safety. They offer versatility in design, robust performance and cost‑effectiveness. When designed according to code—with a 4‑inch maximum gap, proper heights and secure posts—and built with quality materials, picket railings can last a lifetime.
