Tree House Wood Railings in Toronto

Recently, we had the chance to meet a Toronto contractor who needed wood railings for a very unique project. This gentleman specialized in what he called “recreational construction.” He explained that he built backyard play structures for children and grown-ups alike. His most popular projects were wooden “forts” that incorporated swings, monkey bars, and upper floors with slides and swinging bridges. He had been approached by a family that wanted him to build a very sophisticated tree house that the whole family could enjoy.

Wood Railings is great for your Toronto backyard

This contractor had spent many years doing outdoor construction of almost every kind. Decks, pavilions, gazebos, and playhouses were all pretty common for him, but when he was asked to build a tree house of mammoth proportions, he simply couldn’t pass it up. The structure this family had in mind would occupy a large space between two huge old oak trees in their backyard, with a rope bridge leading to a smaller, free standing structure, similar to the playhouses he more frequently built. With such an involved project on his plate, he came to us for the various types of wood railings necessary to complete the job.
We showed him our selection of woods and styles, discussed the different advantages of the various materials, and answered his questions about durability and price. Finally, he decided that wood railings made from cedar would be the best choice.

Nothing excites a craftsman as much as knowing that his work is appreciated. For us, here at Toronto Railings, we are always thrilled to see our wood railings used in interesting new ways. We know that most people probably won’t need our railings for a tree house, but rest assured. No matter what your project calls for, when you need wood railings, give us a call. We are ready to serve you.
