This railing is the perfect finish for this gorgeous deck. It’s been awesome following along from the very beginning.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for still being along for the ride.
Wow! This was worth the wait. That is one fabulous rail system.
Glad you like it!
Really class. Looks like a royal Caribbean cruise ship .
I'll be watching my mailbox for the invitation to the very first cookout on the deck!!
Awesome. It’s like having a huge treehouse! My goats would love that 😅
I agree with you. The railing is fantastic. I thought that the deck was outrageous the second that you finished the project. It was such a bold and creative build. I doubt that anyone except you would have thought of this idea and then proceed to build it. This rail system sets off the deck in a visually stunning way and says to me, "Yeah, I'm April Wilkerson and I designed and built this." Thanks for sharing this build and video with us.
PS: I like it when you speak a little 'Texas' like "fuh-naggle". Since moving to Los Angeles, I don't get to hear enough Texas spoken.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I don't know how you find such incredible products but you sure are good at it! I bet you want to dance a little jig every time you look at the floating deck with its awesome railing!
Now that was something to come up with for sure. Persistence payed off again for you ! You're doing an unbelievable job with your projects April. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Shiver me timbers! Its a BOAT RAILING!
Very beautiful railing, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you, your team and family.
Thank you very much!
@@AprilWilkerson You are welcome 😁
Knowing that the thumbnail is from the last seconds before the drone crashed makes it extra good.
Yep! If you know....you know. :) Thanks for watching.
Awesome Job April
beautiful
That is pretty cool
Very beautiful. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you very much.
I just completed an installation of a high tensile wire porch retention system to keep people and pets from falling off (It's a 10 drop to the ground.) It worked really well and the material to do about 60 feet with six strands of wire cost less than $300.00. I couldn't be happier with the results. It wouldn't work for your application, though, it requires straight runs only.
Thanks for sharing those tips!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Hola April! Hermoso trabajo! Gracias por compartirlo! Un abrazo!

Wow! There are no words to describe your deck and railing. Awesome, beautiful, gorgeous, isn’t even close. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job. I like those handrails. Looks great 👍. Thanks 😊 🙏
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
That’s so cool
Spectacular!
Beautiful. Now, just add LED lighting underneath the railing tops and under the bottom of the deck and with the app change the colors at night to set it off even more. Then, you can sit on the deck at night with the lights of LEDs.
I need you to come to Alabama and build me something like this, only a regular deck that's going to be about 5 feet off the ground on the back of my house. You do such great work you could make a killing working things like this for others...lol.
Thanks, April for all you do. You inspire others that anyone can do things like this. Keep up that energy. Hugs from middle Alabama.
It came out looking amazing. And that blower looks POWERFUL (echo.. echo.. echo..). Now you need a couple of awesomely built picnic tables. Thanks for sharing the build.
Nice work
Wow. That came out fantastic
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Very very beautiful April great job.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love working with Viewrail. such a great product and LOVE this build. Well done!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it.
WOW!!! and thank you for the wave--I always wait for the wave--that is the best part!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
Wow that looks awesome April! I would enjoy having lunch on that deck for sure.
Wow great system and great job!
Thanks! Glad you think so!
I have been build decks since 87 and if may. That is one fine looking deck. I wish i could see it in person. Its funny i look at every tradesman work everytime i walk into a building. Wish i could have spent 5 years as a Mason learning that trade. Nice build 👍
Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G greetings from Spain from US-Spanish citizen!!! ;)
even though its aluminium and steel the railing looks very organic and suits that deck perfectly. great party platform
Thanks! I think so too and just love it. Thanks for watching.
Your deck turned out absolutely beautiful April…. The handrail definitely added the finishing touch! Of course, the duck, duck, goose made for a great finale. The signs are a nice little addition! Thanks
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I love the way they look and even makes me want to buy some, not sure for what but i loved them.
Very cool…now, you need some picnic tables.
Great Work April ❗️
The tree decking looks so stunning, the see through railing system is the best. Pete Nelson the tree house man would be envy over this deck.
Aw thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
This is THE MOST AMAZING deck I have ever seen. Dang Girl!! You have come so far, I'll say this....
I'm proud of you WOW!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is a modern looking railing for your floating tree deck April! It definitely will turn heads. It’s been FUN watching this deck build from the beginning to the competition. The “Duck” “Duck” “Goose” signs are an awesome humorous touch to this “Fantastic Floating Floor” !!! Well Done April!!! 👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Reminds me of the Duck Duck Goose game from when I was in preschool. About 4 decades ago.
Hallo April super Deck super Arbeit danke !!!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I hope them post have caps, they look like a great place for a red wasp nest to build
She showed that they have foam in them. I wasn't sure why. Maybe that was a reason.
Well, it is a floating deck...it deserves a boat railing.
Ha ha Whatever floats your boat. 😀
Oh man do I love this deck.
Exelent Greta Job 😍
This was one of my favorite projects of yours! You did a great job with all of it. Love the railing system, but it looks very expensive. I'll have to check it out for my own deck! Thanks for all you do and teach, April!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
I just added a view rail in my home. It was easy and looks great. Nice work...
Awesome! I just love the looks of it. Thanks for watching.
Pure gold! I have loved this deck since the beginning.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Amazing. Love the design. Construction can be such an art with a test of patience.
Absolutely! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Holy smokes is that great looking. It's like you're living in the trees. Wow.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I just love the looks of it. Thanks for watching.
Great idea, and a quirky but beautiful looking deck. People love curves, but so few contractors do, and now you know why.
I've also specified View Rail, and like their product but not their limit of liability waiver. Got into some trouble with a glass rail system that was 1" lower than codes allow. Fortunately, the local inspector gave us a waiver also.
One issue I have with your newel attachment is that it won't meet the IRC code for lateral resistance if you are just attaching it to that bendy thin fascia board. Here in Washington, they require us to get that engineered! For some reason that is very hard to do.
Ok now I'm jealous. Seriously!
Awesome job April wow and wowing at that deck🎉
Fantastic result April. Really inspirational with all your videos. 👌
Thanks! Glad you like them!
You have a gift being able to see the big/complete picture and planning ahead to avoid complications . Very nice finish !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Impressive craftsmanship....
Very nice young lady. As always keep it up
I watched the original build a year ago and it was amazing, great to see its continuing, it needs a barista up there and some tables, will be awesome for visitors
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the build. Thanks for watching.
Saw the deck before you got the railng up. Have got to stop by and see it with the railing. It looks awesome on video. Can't wait to see it in person.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Stunning project. So impressed with your success. Seemed like yesterday when you were making a fence in your backyard.
Thanks so much! And thanks for staying along for the ride.
That rail system really enhanced the beauty of you already beautiful deck.
Thanks! I think it enhanced the beauty also. Thanks for watching.
That darn wave still makes me smile 😃 !
I love this channel so much, I always look forward to seeing your uploads and learning new things and possible projects I can do myself around the house. I can learn so much here and I love your channel so much. Thank you for sharing your projects with us!

Awesome April. That railing is great.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Nice job young lady!!
That is gorgeous!
Thanks! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Love your channel Arpil. Love the such high quality videos and crafts you have been putting together. Been watching since you tore out that big staircase on the side of the house and rebuilt it. Always excited to see what comes next
Thank you so much!
Well those other companies missed an opportunity! I love the design and finish of the tree house deck.
Well their product simply wouldn't work for the curves here. It's the difference between Cable and Rods. With Viewrail being the only company to use rods, it is a perfect fit.
totally worth the wait. It looks fantastic.
Thanks! I just love it!
I was waiting for this! Turned out great!
Thanks! I'm so pleased with the end result, I just love it! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful railing April! What a great deck!
Thank you very much!
That's a beautiful deck. Thanks for all those helpful tips.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My favorite project of yours ever!! Great job.
Glad you like it!
I drive by regularly (on the way to kayaking) and always wondered why you hadn't done the railing. 😄. Good job on addressing it. Looks wonderful. 🥰
Boat ramps 11 and 23 rule! 😆
Thanks! Yes, it took awhile but I'm so pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for watching.
