Decks are an extension of your living space. In cottage country they are a large part of our business — and we offer a multitude of decking, railing and hardware products to make yours happen.
Decks are becoming larger and more intricate. There are many more choices of materials and designs than there used to be. Home and cottage owners are treating the deck area as an extension of the living space. We offer a multitude of products that can make this happen. Because we are in cottage country, decks are a large part of our business. The most significant changes in the last few years for materials are in the railing and decking options. Read below to find out about our products. If you are new to building decks, the Simpson Strong-Tie (metal hangers) site has a lot of useful information.

No obstructions limiting your view! Finally, one of our suppliers has engineered a glass railing system that does not require an aluminum framework. The glass is held in four places with a stainless steel clamp system. To achieve this, thicker glass must be used, making this a premium option—but one that provides a completely unobstructed view.
The manufacturer also introduced an aluminum post option for the glass railing system in 2014.
Today, people are looking for alternatives. Aluminum and glass balusters are just a few of the distinctive options being used to differentiate your deck or porch. The typical deck railing calls for 2 x 2 wood balusters—which simply doesn’t cut it anymore.
Enjoy the freedom to select from a wide range of low-maintenance aluminum balusters for your railing. Available in a variety of colours and styles, they can be accessorized to create truly distinctive and beautiful deck or porch railings.
Deckorators® balusters offer the options you desire. Choose from a wide range of aluminum series balusters—including Classic, Colonial, Architectural, Estate, and Traditional—or enjoy an unobstructed view with Scenic Glass Balusters.
If you’re looking to renovate, add a touch of class, even increase the value of your property, Vista DIY Aluminum Railings offer a practical, do-it-yourself solution that’s guaranteed to enhance your cottage or home’s curb appeal while reducing costly maintenance. We have a large stock of white railing, balusters and glass. Black and white are in stock; other colours can be ordered.

What is Trex®? Trex is the leading brand of alternative decking, railing, fencing and trim products designed to maximize your outdoor living experience. Trex created the composite decking category and revolutionized the industry — in the end, there is only one genuine Trex. Trex composite products are made of a unique combination of wood and plastic fibres, sourced from reclaimed or recycled resources including sawdust, used pallets and recycled plastic grocery bags. The manufacturing process keeps thousands of tons of wood and plastic scrap out of landfills every year, while delivering decking, railing and fencing products that are beautiful, long-lasting and environmentally responsible.
Deckorators® composite decking is built on mineral-based composite (MBC) technology, giving the boards an industry-leading strength-to-weight ratio, virtually no thermal expansion, and superior traction even when wet. You get the look of real wood with none of the upkeep — no sanding, staining or sealing — plus excellent resistance to moisture, rot and warping.
Choose from a wide range of colours and wood-grain looks across collections such as Voyage, Vault and Vista, all backed by long, industry-leading warranties. Browse the Deckorators decking collections.
The connectors and fastening systems that keep a deck safe, strong and clean-looking.
Just like your home, it’s important to make sure your deck is built right. Most experts agree that the average life expectancy of a wood deck is 10 to 15 years. It is estimated that there are thousands of decks in Canada that are beyond their useful life and may be unsafe — in fact, the number of deck collapses has increased in recent years.
If you’re building a deck or have an existing deck, you should know how to evaluate its construction to make sure it’s structurally sound and safe. Using the proper structural connectors and fasteners (like nails and screws), as well as regular maintenance, are the keys to a safe, strong deck.
The CAMO Hidden Deck Fastening System works on any treated lumber, hardwood, cedar, composite or PVC deck board. CAMO deck screws and a CAMO Marksman tool combine to deliver a fastener-free deck surface at a price that makes getting the job done easy and installing the deck even easier. It’s changing the face of decking.

Vista is your ideal do-it-yourself aluminum deck railing solution, including stair railings. Vista’s handrail system can also safely and elegantly enclose sun decks, balconies, and swimming pools. Choose the railing style and colour that best suits your home. The system is engineered to meet Ontario Building Code requirements.
Vista aluminum railings are available in over 40 powder-coated colours and a wide variety of styles suitable for sundecks, balconies, pools, and staircases. Mix and match styles and colours to create the perfect look for your project.
Your local Vista aluminum railing dealer uses Vista Planner, an estimating software program that provides a deck railing drawing, an accurate price, a complete material list, and installation information. It also helps reduce waste, saving both time and money.
Unlike many aluminum railing systems that require professional installation, the ProBuilt aluminum railing system is designed for DIY installation. Posts, rails, spacers, and pickets slide and snap together in fewer than 10 simple steps for professional-looking results.
Vista DIY aluminum railings are the only system backed by a written design manual that meets engineering standards.
Vista railings are manufactured using advanced aluminum alloys and premium exterior metal coatings. Their paint finish is engineered to exceed the toughest industry standards, delivering exceptional durability and value.
Vista aluminum railings feature a high-quality urethane powder-coated finish that resists rust, rot, peeling, flaking, blistering, and repainting. The finish is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for residential applications.
Before choosing a railing system, consider what sets Vista apart:
TimberTech maintains its colour and beauty for years without the work of painting, staining or sealing. And, because it resists mildew, warping and insects, there’s no need to replace rotting, uneven or termite-damaged boards. This saves time and money over the life of your deck and fence. Caring for TimberTech is easier than wood and will allow you to focus on maximum enjoyment instead of maximum maintenance.
TimberTech’s 25-year limited residential warranty is best-in-class. The warranty offers 25 years of coverage that isn’t pro-rated for residential installations, and it can be transferred to a second homeowner – a great selling feature when you’re ready to relocate. For commercial applications, TimberTech offers a 10-year limited warranty for worry-free beauty in high-traffic situations. And in the unlikely event that you have to contact us for warranty assistance, they separate themselves from the competition by placing high priority on top-notch customer care after the sale.
TimberTech offers a complete line of low maintenance outdoor building products that are durable and made with high quality materials. They listen to customers and create products that offer a wide variety of colour choices and styles, designed to fit your life and design preferences. From traditional wood-plastic combinations to PVC material; from railing and lighting to under-deck drainage systems and fastener-free installation options, TimberTech is your one-stop for outdoor living building products.
They’re driven by innovation and have award-winning, industry-recognized, top-selling products to prove it! TimberTech was the first alternative decking manufacturer to introduce a railing system with black as a colour option, and also the first to introduce a patented lighting system specifically created for its railing and fencing systems, providing the best fit and finished look.
With the DeckLites deck lighting system, deck time doesn’t end when the sun goes down. This award-winning, low-voltage deck lighting system lets homeowners and their guests enjoy their deck in style long into the evening with its subtle glow. DeckLites lends a sense of safety by illuminating steps and installs easily with TimberTech’s Radiance Rail and Ornamental Rail systems.
You can rest assured you’re buying from a leading, global manufacturer and expert in the industry when you buy TimberTech!
All the ingredients are reused and the process to make them is also environmentally responsible. Trex is made from reclaimed plastic and wood — materials that would otherwise go unused in landfills. In fact, use of Trex decking and railing systems contributes to a building’s enviable LEED points.
Trex has also gone into the railing and lighting business, and there are some pretty nifty setups.
Trex DeckLighting™ doubles the time spent on your deck. From late suppers to outdoor slumber parties to even later cocktails, Trex DeckLighting creates a dimmable glow that sets the mood and keeps your deck illuminated.
We carry the Simpson Strong-Tie line of connectors. Most items are double coated with the “Z-Max” galvanizing system that has added protection from any corrosive materials in pressure-treated lumber. There are many ways to build a deck, and these fasteners could help you design the best one. The Simpson Strong-Tie corporate site has a great section on building decks, and the downloadable PDF is especially good for showing how the connectors work and their sizes.
Simpson have also come out with a screw (rather than the special nail currently used) for deck connectors.
