Black Beauty Made from TimberTech composite, the RadianceRail deck railing features a cap of matte, satiny black vinyl. The Classic Black railing offers a clean look without exposed hardware and coordinates well with darker, more exotic-colored composite deck options. TimberTech. 800.307.7780. www.timbertech.com.
Copper Caps Convertible post cap lights in two copper styles can be used either with the included solar-powered LED light or with votive candles to send a warm glow from the cap’s top. The series includes a square lantern style and a round style with an etched design; both also are available in stainless steel. Maine Ornamental. 866.780.3507. www.postcaps.com.
Strong Hold Engineered to help prevent deck, railing, and stair collapse, the DeckLok bracket significantly strengthens and reinforces critical deck connections. For ledger-board anchoring, DeckLok provides up to 4,000 pounds of resistance to deck pull-out; it also can be used to reinforce other connections.

Protective Finish For decks and other outdoor wood structures, Storm Stain color stains have been reformulated to protect wood surfaces in any climate. A new palette of color options, inspired by the landscapes of the U.S. National Parks, features colors that change with the light throughout the day.
