Deck blocking is essential to support your railing system and keep it secure over time. Proper deck block spacing strengthens the deck surface and prevents wobbling or shifting in your railing. We follow Ontario building code and local building department guidelines to make sure your deck joist blocking meets code requirements.
Joist block spacing is carefully planned to give your deck maximum stability. This helps protect your railing posts, including aluminum handrails, glass railings, and wood railings, so they last for years without rust or damage. Good blocking also boosts the curb appeal of your porch, deck, or balconies by keeping the railing perfectly aligned.
Toronto Deck and Rail offers professional installation using premium materials for a modern look that complements your outdoor space and surrounding environment. We work with a variety of railing styles, including:
Ultra-modern aluminum railing systems in matte black or classic finishes
Sleek tempered glass panels for unobstructed views
Durable composite railings and traditional wood railings
Cable railings that combine style and safety
All of our railings are designed to be maintenance-free or low-maintenance, so most homeowners enjoy years of use without painting or repairs. Our team handles everything from deck blocking to post caps and fasteners, creating a perfect blend of safety and visual appeal.
Using the right deck blocking is key to supporting the railing post styles you want. Whether your deck requires stair railing support or balcony railing, we customize the block spacing and materials to fit the project. We know that every outdoor space is unique and select materials that match the style and strength needed.
Our deck joist blocking techniques also protect your deck’s structure. This stops damage caused by weather or heavy use, making your deck and railing system durable and safe. The result is a clean-lined, modern style that enhances your property’s overall look.

Absolutely. Wood railings are a traditional choice that many homeowners prefer compared to other materials for their warm look. Proper deck blocking ensures the railing posts remain sturdy and reduces the risk of wobbling or damage.
We calculate railing costs based on the total linear footage of your deck’s perimeter or stair edges that need railing. This pricing method helps keep things simple and transparent, as you’ll know exactly how much material and labour are needed. The final price per linear foot can vary depending on the railing system you choose, such as glass panels, aluminum railing systems, or composite railings.
Installation timing depends on the size and complexity of your deck and railing system. Our professional team provides an estimated schedule after reviewing your project. We prioritize fast, quality installation with minimal disruption.
