Handrails & Stairs Canberra

We are specialists in handrails and stairs in Canberra. Book a free, no-obligation quote with us today.

Handrails and stairs might seem like a small part of your deck—but they make a big difference in how it looks, feels, and functions. Whether you’re after added safety, a bit of privacy, or just a better finish, we can design and install rails and steps that match your deck perfectly.

At Deck Builder Canberra, we’ve built everything from simple timber steps to full staircases with balustrades and custom handrails. We work with you to find something that fits the space, feels right, and lasts through Canberra’s wild weather.

Our Handrails & Stairs Services

We build stairs and handrails that aren’t just strong—they look good too. We make sure every part of your deck is finished off properly, especially the bits you use every day.

Our services include:

  • Custom timber stairs – Designed to suit your deck height and access needs
  • Balustrades and railings – Choose timber, stainless steel, wire, or powder-coated metal
  • Landing platforms – For high decks or areas with uneven ground
  • Deck-to-garden transitions – Smooth, practical connections from your deck to the lawn or patio
  • Replacements and repairs – Upgrade tired, rotting, or unsafe stairs and railings
  • Accessible step designs – Wider treads, lower risers, and secure grip rails for older users or young families

Whether you want a basic handrail or something more decorative, we can help.

Materials and Styles

We can build handrails and stairs to match the style and materials of your deck.

Common options include:

  • Treated Pine – Cost-effective and reliable
  • Hardwoods (Merbau, Spotted Gum) – Strong, stylish, and naturally resistant
  • Metal balustrades or posts – Sleek and modern with low maintenance
  • Wire cabling – Minimalist and great for views

We’ll guide you through what suits your space, your taste, and your budget.

Why Quality Matters

Properly built stairs and handrails are more than just a finishing touch. They:

  • Make your deck safer for kids, elderly, and guests
  • Keep your property up to code (where relevant)
  • Improve overall look and usability
  • Boost property appeal and outdoor flow

If your current stairs feel unstable or your railings are loose or outdated, we’re happy to take a look and suggest the best way forward.
