Ensure family safety by designing log deck railings with child-safe spacing between balusters. Properly spaced rails prevent small children from slipping through while maintaining rustic charm. Use horizontal rails or vertical spindles, and sand surfaces smooth to avoid splinters. Beyond peace of mind, these thoughtful choices create a welcoming outdoor space for the whole family to enjoy. Pair with built-in benches or play corners to maximize function without clutter. Log deck railings designed for child safety keep your deck open, beautiful, and secure—proving rustic style can embrace both timeless charm and practical family needs.
