Ipe 1×4 Subrail – Used Beneath Handrails to Incorporate Balusters
1×4 Milled subrail (3/4”x3 ½”)
(customer reviews)
Ipe 1x4 subrail, which plays a crucial yet often understated role in the construction of a deck or porch railing system. Think of it as the backbone that supports the visual flair and safety of your railing.
The subrail sits discreetly beneath the handrail, acting as a solid foundation to secure the top of the balusters (those vertical 2x2 spindles that prevent kids and pets from slipping through). It’s like the unsung hero of a staircase or deck railing, providing structural support and ensuring that the balusters are evenly spaced and firmly attached, creating a cohesive and sturdy barrier.
Its role may not be the most glamorous, but it’s fundamental in ensuring the integrity and beauty of your deck or porch.
