Accessories

It depends on your project, but most builds benefit from a combination of finishing and functional accessories. Balusters fill in your railing sections and are available in several aluminum styles to match your design. Post caps add a finished look to railing posts—with solar-powered options that double as ambient lighting. Postcovers wrap exposed posts for a clean, uniform appearance. For under-deck areas, lattice panels are a popular choice for skirting and decorative enclosures. If you're looking to create a defined outdoor room or block sightlines, the Privacy Screen System offers a modular, mix-and-match approach. And for concealing utilities or landscaping equipment, Artificial Landscape Rocks provide a natural-looking cover.

Most Deckorators accessories are designed for broad compatibility, not just Deckorators systems. Aluminum balusters install onto wood, composite, or aluminum railings. VersaCap post caps include bracket inserts that adapt to fit wood, vinyl, or composite posts from a range of manufacturers. Lattice panels and the Privacy Screen System are standalone products that work independently of any specific decking or railing brand. For system-specific components like baluster connectors or rail brackets, check compatibility with your railing profile before ordering.

The number of balusters you need depends on the total length of your railing sections and the style of baluster you choose, since spacing requirements vary. Rather than doing the math yourself, use our Baluster Calculator to get a quick, accurate count based on your project specs. It's the fastest way to make sure you order the right quantity the first time.

Deckorators offers two distinct approaches depending on the level of privacy and the look you're after. Lattice panels come in Classic, Square, and Privacy patterns—with the Privacy option featuring tighter spacing for more coverage. Available in 4' x 8' sheets, lattice is ideal for deck skirting, under-deck enclosures, and decorative screening. For targeted seclusion in living areas, the Privacy Screen System is a modular aluminum frame system that lets you mix and match infill options—including panels in four on-trend styles (Palm, Wicker, Pier, and Wildwood), double-sided slats in three colors, or even Deckorators decking boards. Lattice is best for covering large areas with a uniform look; the Privacy Screen System is built for creating defined, customizable spaces.
