Step 1: Top & Bottom Rails
Choose your color
Start your railing order by selecting the desired color.
- TREX Transcend glass railing is available in six colors: Classic White, Charcoal Black, Gravel Path, Rope Swing, Tree House, and Vintage Lantern.
Determining the number of sections
TREX Transcend glass railing is available in 6' sections.
- Make a drawing of your deck and determine how many TREX Transcend glass railing sections you will need.
- Try to make all railing sections on a row the same size. (For 20 feet of railing, create four 5' sections with 6' rails – rather than 6', 6', 6', 2'.)
- Section length is measured from the center of the post to the center of the post. Therefore, the actual size of 6' sections will be slightly less than six feet.

The height of the glass will determine the height of your TREX Transcend railing.
Refer to your local building codes to determine the required railing height.
The following requirements apply in Ontario:
- If the deck/porch height is above-grade 5' or more, your handrail should be 42" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 5' above-grade, your handrail should be 36" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 2' above-grade, a railing is not required.

Step 5: Final Touches
Step 4: Final Touches - TREX Lighting
The right lighting can transform your outdoor space from invisible to inviting. TREX offers a complete line of LED lighting options to cast a warm glow on stairs, railing posts, perimeters, and more.
Use the following tips as you select the finishing touches for your TREX Transcend railing:
- For best results, choose TREX lighting fixtures that are the same colour as your TREX Post Kit.
- Note that TREX lighting operates on DC power. NEVER mix AC and DC fixtures on the same circuit. Doing so will result in premature fixture failure and is not covered by the TREX limited warranty.
- You must use a TREX transformer on all TREX lighting installations.
- Install wiring and splitters before installing decking and railing.
- Use male-to-male connection wire (lengths vary) to connect to each required splitter.
- DO NOT run wires between deck boards and joists. Wiring must travel under the deck and behind the risers.
POST CAP LIGHT
Tucked discreetly under the cap, post cap lights provide a warm downward glow and easy wayfinding.
DECK RAIL LIGHT
These indirect lights reside directly on the rail post to illuminate the beautiful deck below.
RAIL WEDGE LIGHT
Rail Wedge lights turn a daytime-only deck into a warm, inviting space for dinners and entertaining.
