Love hosting? Whether it’s dinner parties with friend, summer barbecues, or just a quiet evening with family, one of the easiest ways to turn your deck into the ultimate outdoor entertainment venue is by adding a drink rail to your railing.
Any full-profile TimberTech deck board can be used as a drink rail — an option available on our Classic Composite Series and Impression Rail Express collections. Used in place of traditional top rails, drink rails provide a flat, sturdy surface where you and your guests can set drinks and plates. They also add another design element to your deck — allowing you to either match the drink rail to your deck surface, for a cohesive look, or select a complementary deck board to create contrast.
Why add a drink rail?
A drink rail is more than just a stylish addition to your deck railing; it’s a smart solution with practical benefits.
Convenient surface for drinks and plates: Puts them in easy arm’s reach while keeping your hands free for other activities.
Easier entertaining: The added convenience of a drink rail makes your gatherings more enjoyable and comfortable for guests.
Standout style: Drink rails add a unique look to your deck, making it easy for you to add a polished finish or a pop of contrast.
