I would say yes cost is a factor. I'm waiting on quotes to install a roof over the existing deck. I'd rather put the money into that structure because I'm farming that out. I can make/install a wood railing system myself. Went to Lowe's today and they have aluminum ballisters that can be used with conventional wood railings that looked interesting. The thing that bothers me most about wood railings is the normal install seems to be just driving a crap load of screws through the ends which looks like junk and eventually split. If I make my own I would use a router and make cutouts in the posts for the rails to slide into. The SS rail system above is too modern for my home. I will look into the aluminum rail system posted above. Thanks
