Though that might not sound too bad, time will reveal the problems that causes. Eventually, your wood will start to fall apart \u2013 not ideal for balustrades that are supposed to bear our weight. And if it isn\u2019t warping and rotting, traditional timber is likely cracking or splitting. Certainly a problem if your small child or household pet decides to run into them. Basically, the last thing you want is a timber deck railing that could give out under the slightest pressure.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you avoid all of this? With NeoTimber\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/neotimber.com\/balustrades\/composite-balustrades\/\">purpose-built composite balustrades<\/a>, of course!
