Can Classic Composite Railing be used near water? Near salt water?

Yes, with the right approach. The Classic Composite Series is a durable, low-maintenance railing that performs well in a variety of outdoor settings, including near lakefronts and pools.

For salt-water and coastal projects, a few smart steps go a long way:

- Always check local code requirements for coastal applications

- Use corrosion-resistant hardware suited to salt air and spray

- Keep in mind that the TimberTech Limited Warranty does not cover exposure to corrosive elements.
