With spring around the corner, we're getting a lot of questions about our rustic, log railing from folks who are eager to get out of the house and get to work! When it comes to choosing the best log railing for your deck or staircase project, there are so many things to consider from style to size to type of wood. Here at Rocky Top, we strictly use Northern White Cedar for all of our rails and spindles. It has a high resistance to moisture storage and is naturally resistant to decay and rot. Cedar also adjusts well to all environments. This is why it has been a popular choice by builders for years. We offer numerous textures and styles of railing as you'll see in our log railing gallery. Being a manufacturer, we have the capabilities to produce on small or large scales, residential or commercial. To help you get started, we thought we'd spend some time this week highlighting our log railing textures and styles. Please don't hesitate to send your questions our way or to give us a call! Our team is ready to answer your questions and get your projects started!

First, let's talk texture. Our rustic, log railing is available in four textures:

1. Logheads
Our Logheads texture boasts a truly-rustic appearance with natural curves, knots and bends.

2. Sanded Smooth
Our Sanded Smooth texture is more refined yet retains the natural beauty of the wood. It is smooth to the touch.

3. Hand-Hewn
Our Hand-Hewn railing features draw-knife accents. It is not quite as rustic as our Logheads railing but boasts a richly-detailed appearance.

4. High Country
Our High Country rustic log railing is characterized by a more coarse and rugged texture.
