Deck Railings for Lissara Lodge
Decorative deck railing gives this project a finished and sophisticated look. Featuring sturdy branches in place of traditional spindles, this decorative deck railing enhances the landscape and adds to the lodge’s rustic but contemporary flair. Each knotty branch has its own shape, curvature and thickness which provides this handrail with a distinct look and charm. Carefully spaced, each panel helps to build a solid structure around the deck for both safety and security. Its open design however beautifully frames the picturesque views of the lake and scenes of nature all around.
This video is from a while back, but it nicely captures the unique appeal about Mountain Laurel Handrails. On a rainy day like this, looking over the deck railings at the lake, the distinction between the deck and the lake slip away. See how the deck rails don’t move in spite of the heavy winds. Consequently, it would be quite relaxing to cozy up out here next to a warm fireplace while taking in these awe-inspiring views! This video shows how this outdoor space makes an outstanding retreat space no matter the season or what the weather is like.
The Lake at Lissara opened up just in time for the Parade of Homes this past weekend. I’m sure that our decorative deck railings got lots of attention.
I know it’s been quiet over here… It’s because the wood railing artisans have been working on deck railing plans and crafting a project for the Lodge at The Lake at Lissara. This is going to be an incredible building in just a few short weeks. Ready to install handrail sections are going to be framed by a handrail design that is as unique as woven mountain laurel. Soon guests will spend the morning on this deck watching the sunrise while drinking a cup of coffee or sipping on a mimosa. In the evening guests can sit back while reading a book or enjoying an evening cocktail.
There is a lot of work put in both by myself and the mastermind at Lissara in getting all the details right and ensuring that the finished product will be a perfect match for its creator, Bob Timberlake. Our custom deck railing design incorporates smart design with functionality, charm and character. Crafted of natural materials, the deck also complements its metal roof and stone accented front. Made of top quality wood and crafted with a solid frame, this deck railing will stand the test of time.
So if you’re curious what 225 linear feet of framed railing sections looks like packed like sardines into a moving truck, here it is. Rental moving trucks are no fun to drive. This one was so loud from road and wind noise that it left my ears ringing. The steering was so bad I could hardly adjust the radio.
But it was well worth it when I got to check out the great work that’s going on at the Lodge. the woodworkers there have built a beautiful timber great room with a huge 12″ x 22″ yellow pine beam as the main ridge; it weighed 3000 pounds. The decking is cypress and the siding is of poplar bark. The view from across the lake is more than a half mile long
I think this is a particularly nice picture of spring when the trees are full of foliage and the birds are chirping and flying all around. From here you can see how the railings complement the building’s cabin like exterior and its woodsy surroundings.
Mountain Laurel Handrails blur the lines between the built and natural environments. Our goal is to make every deck look as though it is actually a part of nature. While standing on this deck you’ll feel like you’re in a tree house. It will seem as though you can reach out and touch the trees while you are experiencing the mist from the lake and the beauty of the clear skies. Its decorative deck railing inserts are made with all natural, tree materials to give it its delightful and down-home look. As we planned, these handrails like the deck look as though they are part of the natural landscape.
Ornamental and creative, its natural tree balusters have warm amber hues that showcase its lovely wood grain and texture.
