Safety matters more when the finish still feels clean and simple.

Handrails For Decks & Stairs

A well-built handrail can make stairs, decks and raised outdoor areas safer to use while also giving the space a more finished look. WJG Built designs and installs custom handrails across the Northern Rivers, with each handrail planned around the layout, height and style of the surrounding area.


Whether you need a handrail for steps, elevated decking, access around outdoor areas or added safety for children and guests, we can help you choose a practical design that fits naturally with the rest of the build. We offer a range of material and finish options, including timber and metal styles suited to different outdoor spaces and levels of exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What height should a handrail be?

    Handrail height requirements can vary depending on whether the handrail is being installed on stairs, decks, balconies or walkways. The required height is usually determined by building standards and the height of the drop or number of steps involved. Correct height and spacing are important for both safety and compliance.

  • Are timber or metal handrails better outdoors?

    Timber and metal handrails both suit outdoor use, but they offer different finishes and maintenance levels. Timber can suit decks and outdoor areas with a more natural look, while metal handrails are often chosen for cleaner lines and lower upkeep. The right choice depends on exposure, surrounding materials and the style of the outdoor area.

  • Can handrails be added to an existing deck?

    Handrails can often be added to existing decks, stairs and outdoor walkways if the surrounding structure is suitable for the new fixings and posts. The design may depend on deck height, stair layout, framing condition and the amount of edge protection needed around the space.
