Alaskan Yellow Cedar Top Rail 5/4in x 4in for Aluminum Post-to-Post Rail

Alaskan Yellow Cedar possesses a level of durability and strength uncharacteristic of lighter wood species. This top rail, or cap rail, is nearly half the thickness of typical wood railings, allowing you to keep your view even more open. In order to maintain structural integrity, this top rail option should be supported underneath by our POST-TO-POST aluminum rail (sold separately), which discretely runs between posts and matches our other aluminum railing components.

These top rails are Clear Grade, meaning they are exceptionally knot-free and visibly smooth in coloration and texture. We hand-pick our wood top rails personally from our premium wood supplier to ensure we are passing on the best of the best.
