The rails on our trex deck wobble when you walk on the deck. Is that normal?

-Also, when you lean on the railing it moves outward a little bit. Is that normal? I don't want it falling apart on someone.Sounds like the supporting frame work for the deck boards are either not large enough or the span between supports is too far which would cause the decking to bounce or the railing has not been fastened securely I would recommend having someone familiar with construction take a look at it.Appears that it was not constructed properly and especially to code.



There's a reason why a permit needs to be pulled for some home projects.

In some states and counties it is required, even for a deck.



Either way I would have it inspected by someone who knows what to look for.

At minimal add more sub support to attach the boards and railings more securely or

At least check to see if the builder used enough screws, nails, nuts or bolts.

A sure sign of an amateur job would be if they didn't consider using

lag bolts to secure it to your house.
