Nestled on a spacious property at the forest’s edge in Litchfield, Connecticut, a black aluminum cable railing system defines the perimeter of a serene back deck. The warm Ipe wood top rail, which contrasts richly with the dark metal, is supported by the deck-mounted posts, which rise in straight, crisp lines. Beneath the Ipe, a matching aluminum post-to-post support rail adds structural integrity and a seamless design flow. Sleek stainless steel cables stretch horizontally between the posts, maintaining open sightlines to the lush treetops and expansive grounds beyond. The finished product is a contemporary, aesthetically pleasing railing that combines robustness with organic beauty.
