Is there an option to have the top rail wood?

Hi Shell, Yes you can mount a wood top directly to the top of the toprail by drilling through the structural aluminum and attaching from below with your choice of screws. Many of our customers have done this. We do not currently ship a wood option and recommend the wood that you attach be procured locally. Reach out to one of our sales guys at customerservice@citypost.com if you have any questions. Thanks!
