Local conditions
Slopes, views and older decks
On sloped lots the deck height can change from one end to the other, so posts, bracing and stairs carry more of the cost than the boards do. Glass railings are popular where there's a view to protect.
Many Burnaby homes from the 1960s to 80s have original or once-replaced decks with low railings and tired ledgers. A builder should check the connection to the house carefully before quoting new boards.
