I went through Monti at San Diego Decks. Instead of the metal frames I went with plastic covers and trex rails, kinda like this:

Dang that looks nice… I probably don’t need something that fancy, since it’s tiny balcony…
But I’m trying to eliminate as much real wood as possible, to avoid future termite issues where I can.
I’m thinking trex flooring, and initially thought about a trex railing that looks more traditional…But I kinda like the glass railing, and thought why not…
I did not know trex makes a glass railing system Do you have more info on it? I couldn’t find it… It might not work for my tiny balcony because those columns look big, which might dwarf by tiny balcony.

I’d give Monti a call for details. I didn’t know too much about the product until he told me about it then I started researching it. I just wanted a composite with glass panels and that’s what he recommended.

Click on their Deck Options Guide and scroll down.
My neighbors had a huge custom deck designed and installed by these guys and it is just stunning. Highest quality you can imagine.
