Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I am thinking of purchasing an Ontario Deck Railing railing system. Where do I start?
A: To obtain an estimate, you can either drop by our office in London, Ontario, with a drawing of your deck with outside deck framing dimensions or upload your drawing on our Request An Estimate page.
Q: Do the railing systems meet the Ontario Building Code?
A: Yes, all of our railing systems meet the Ontario Building Code. They are all fully engineered and tested.
Q: I want to make a drawing of my deck with outside dimensions. What details do you need for a Request An Estimate?
A: Please measure each perimeter deck framing run and indicate any openings as well as abutting structures. If you have stairs that require railings, measure the overall width of the stair, the vertical rise between each tread, and the number of stair tread rises from the lowest level to the top of the deck level. Be sure to also indicate if you require railings down both sides of the stair stringers or just one side. Please make all measurements to the nearest inch.
Q: What tools or materials are needed to install an Ontario Deck Railing railing system?
A: Our railing systems come complete including all hardware and fasteners. As noted in our installation manual, all you need are some basic hand tools such as tape measure, level, drill and related bits, and a chop saw with a non-ferrous blade. This gives you a no hassle purchase.
Q: How long will the aluminum deck railing system last?
A: For our aluminum railing products (does not include the new frameless glass railing system), we provide a limited warranty under normal use that they will be free from structural defects for 10 years and the powder coating finish will not crack, peel, flake or blister for 25 years.

Q: How long will it take for my order to be ready?
A: If all the parts to fulfill your order are in stock, it would only take 3 - 5 business days for the order to be ready for pick up.

We will contact you when everything is ready for completion.
