Picket panels
The classic AL13 Home look. Square balusters factory-welded into the rail — drop-in install, every Prairie deck's safe answer.
The picket panel is the workhorse of the AL13 Home line — and the reason most Prairie homeowners pick AL13 Home in the first place. Square aluminum balusters are welded into the top and bottom rail at the factory. You're not setting individual pickets on site, you're dropping a finished panel between two posts. Available in 6' and 8' level runs and adjustable stair panels that handle up to 40° without cutting. Both Black Sand and Matte White stocked at depth in both stores.
The Canada-specific 44.5" panel is Intertek-tested for the National Building Code's elevated-deck guard rail requirement. If your deck sits more than 600mm above grade — which covers most Prairie builds — this is the panel that meets code with margin to spare.
“If you're building a standard prairie deck — 300 square feet, one stair run, nothing exotic — Black Sand picket panels are the answer. The pre-welded format saves a full afternoon of labour vs setting individual pickets, and the lifetime warranty is a real lifetime warranty. This is what I'd put on my own build.”
