This second-story back deck, which is located in a quiet, forested area of Williamsburg, Virginia, features a contemporary black metal cable railing system that combines design and use. The sleek fascia-mounted posts create a clean, unobtrusive line that enhances the deck's elevation without compromising views of the surrounding forest. Tensioned stainless steel cables stretch horizontally between posts, offering security while maintaining an open, airy feel. A warm wood top rail adds a natural contrast to the black metal framework, echoing the organic textures of the landscape. This well-thought-out railing system adds a contemporary look with long-lasting durability while balancing the home's peaceful surroundings and architectural style.
