Hi @paull and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community.

Could we please trouble you for some photos of the deck and surrounding area? It would really help members to provide more specific and helpful advice if they can see what you are working with. 

Please let us know if you need a hand sharing photos.

Hello @paull

Thanks for sharing your question about installing a rail on your wooden deck. I believe your options are to either install a proper timber railing which you can speak to your landlord about and possibly work out a deal for its cost or ask your local council about the viability of installing a pool fence on the deck. The reason for this is that the council's rules and regulations for railings on decks are very strict. I propose doing this in the best possible way as it involves the safety of family members.

Let me call on our experienced members @Adam_W and @MikeTNZ for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
