Hello AT,
We live in San Francisco and we have a tiny little deck out back, which connects with our upstairs neighbors via a staircase. It's rotted and is all being redone. Every railing choice seems so suburban to me, though, and the manmade choices are horrific--weird plasticky "cedar." There's also a multitude of codes, meaning there can't be space for a baby to fall through and there has to be a handrail. City-dwellers aren't often faced with outdoor issues, and I wonder if you know any beautiful modern designs or resources or, heck, ideas! Many many thanks.

Very interesting! A friend also showed me Trex, which looks nicely unwoodlike (something most people don't like but I prefer) and suggested grayed wood posts with horizontal steel conduit rods in between. I like the flower look for the glassdeco...
