When budget concerns arose, North Carolina builder Michael Chandler corralled the cost of this 600-sq.-ft. deck project by using agricultural wire goat panels for the guardrails rather than the custom metalwork initially planned. The panels are made of 7/32-in.-dia. wire in a 4-in. grid pattern that’s stiff enough to stand in for traditional balusters. - Fine Homebuilding #Decks #DeckDesign
