We are building a deck and I want to have removeable spindles/removable balusters in the rails.?
I recognize they exist, I've seen them. The spindles can be removed so you can stain the top/bottom rails then snap them back. Anyone recall a source or a brand that has these. I think they are aluminum but look like steel or iron.
With all due reverence, I have to ask, WHY framing that has to be stained, then add metal balusters? That isn't as confusing as WHY not stain/finish the WOOD frame work first?
Beyond that I'd be inquisitive as to how they attach, code issues regarding rails depending on height off ground level that railings are dictated.
Then there is the topic, if railing is required, about why you want to mix species anyway? Why not frame it in the same material, wood or metal?

But despite all these, wood balusters are still nearby in the market. It is still the prerogative of the homeowner on what baluster material he chooses.
On the other hand, there are also balusters that are made from new age materials that offer classic old make look. Balusters can be made from powder-coated aluminum and this offers a simple and traditional look. Having this kind of baluster will only instruct you to screw the baluster on the wood or composite railing with the use of matching screws during installation. This kind is now available in level or square shapes. The good thing about this baluster is that maintenance is no longer necessary.
