Baluster
A vertical member between the top and bottom rails. When a baluster is turned on a lathe, it is often called a spindle, and is what most of our customers are looking for on their porch or deck. Sawn balusters a board with decorative scrollwork. Balusters can be made of just about any material, but for porch and deck railing, we prefer authentic high quality wood of a species appropriate for exterior use, or High Density Polyurethane (HDP) for a synthetic alternative.
