When it comes to elevating your outdoor living space, few products offer the versatility and durability of the Barrette Outdoor Living RDI Elevation Rail. This innovative system is designed to transform your deck or patio into a multi-level oasis, providing increased functionality and visual appeal.

Barrette's RDI Elevation Rail is more than just a railing system; it's a solution that allows you to create distinct zones within your outdoor space, maximizing your property's potential. Whether it's carving out a cozy seating area, or establishing a safe play space for children, the elevation rail offers a tangible demarcation that enhances the overall outdoor experience.

Understanding the RDI Elevation Rail System

The RDI Elevation Rail is part of Barrette Outdoor Living's innovative Rail Direct Integration (RDI) line, which features a unique, patented design that eliminates the need for traditional balusters. Instead, the system consists of smooth, continuous rail segments that are secured directly to the stringers, creating a sleek, unobstructed look.

This design not only enhances the aesthetics of your outdoor space but also simplifies installation, reducing labor and material costs. The rail segments are made from high-quality, durable aluminum, ensuring they can withstand the elements and maintain their appearance over time.

Design Flexibility

One of the standout features of the RDI Elevation Rail is its flexibility. Available in various heights, from 36" to 42", the rail can be customized to meet your specific needs. Whether you're looking to create a subtle step down or a significant elevation change, the RDI system offers a solution.

Additionally, the rail segments can be installed in multiple configurations, allowing you to create everything from simple, straight runs to complex, intersecting designs. This design flexibility enables you to adapt the system to the unique layout and topology of your property.

Safety and Compliance

In addition to its aesthetic and functional benefits, the RDI Elevation Rail is also designed with safety in mind. The continuous rail segments provide a robust, uninterrupted barrier that meets or exceeds IBC and ADA guidelines for deck railings. This ensures that your outdoor space is not only beautiful but also safe for you and your family.

The system's durable aluminum construction further enhances its safety credentials. Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion and does not splinter or deteriorate over time like some wooden alternatives. This means that the rail will maintain its integrity and safety, even after years of exposure to the elements.

The Benefits of Incorporating Elevation into Your Outdoor Living Space

Creating multi-level spaces in your outdoor living area can bring a number of benefits. Elevation allows you to differentiate between various activity zones, such as dining, seating, or landscaping. This can help to make your space feel more expansive and better utilize the available square footage.

Elevated spaces can also provide opportunities for unique design features, such as built-in seating or storage. These features can add both functionality and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space, making it more inviting and comfortable for you and your guests.

Enhancing Privacy

Another significant benefit of incorporating elevation into your outdoor living space is the enhanced privacy it can provide. Elevated spaces can be used to create screening or barriers, concealing your outdoor activities from passersby or neighboring properties.
