The Edge Apartments in Columbus, Ohio, have officially opened its doors, bringing resort-style living to the city with standout amenities like a stunning pool, a designer clubhouse, and co-working spaces built for the modern resident.
When it came time to select railing systems for the community's new-construction decks, The Edge chose Alumina's M-Series Aluminum Railing System — and it's easy to see why. The M-300-3A series strikes the perfect balance between contemporary style and long-lasting performance, adding a sleek, polished look that feels right at home in a luxury setting. And with aluminum's natural resistance to wear and corrosion, residents and property managers alike can enjoy beautiful railings without the headache of constant upkeep.
We're thrilled to see the M-Series shine at a community like The Edge, and we think this project is a great example of what modern apartment living can look like when every detail is done right.
The Edge Columbus just opened its doors with luxury apartments, a resort-style pool, designer clubhouse, and co-working spaces. And it's protected by Alumina Railing's aluminum deck railing and pool fence system.
We are proud to present this project and explain why our M-Series Aluminum Railing System is ideal for modern communities like this one.
We are excited to showcase this project and explain why aluminum railing works so well for modern communities like this.
What is The Edge Columbus?
The Edge Columbus is a brand-new apartment community transforming Columbus, Ohio's residential landscape. This development offers studio to three-bedroom units, complete with upscale finishes. Residents can enjoy amenities such as a resort-style pool, a designer clubhouse, and co-working spaces. This is not your typical apartment complex; it is designed for those seeking modern living with meaningful amenities.
To enhance the community's high-end design, the community required railings and fencing that exceeded standard specifications. That's where our aluminum deck railing and pool fence system became essential.
Why Choose Alumina’s M-Series Aluminum Railing for Modern Communities?
The M-Series Aluminum Railing System has emerged as the preferred choice for luxury residential projects. Why is that? For a community like The Edge, which aims to impress residents and guests, this system provides an ideal combination of aesthetics and functionality. It delivers a sleek, contemporary look that complements luxury apartments and offers exceptional durability that can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
The Satin Black finish chosen for The Edge enhances sophistication. It complements contemporary architecture while ensuring visibility and safety. This is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Aluminum railing systems have become the go-to choice for luxury residential projects. Why? They're lightweight, they don't rust, and they look clean and modern. Unlike wood, aluminum won't splinter or warp. Unlike steel, it resists corrosion without constant maintenance.
What Sets the M300-3A M-Series Apart?
The M300-3A comes from our M-Series Aluminum Railing System. Let's break down what "M300-3A" actually means. The "3A" refers to Top Cap Profile 3 paired with Picket Option A - those are the 5/8" x 5/8" pickets that give the railing its clean, proportional look.
The M-Series system is engineered to meet architectural specifications. The rails, channels, and pickets are extruded aluminum in 6063-T5. The posts are 6063-T6 for added strength. This system is offered in an AAMA 2604 high-performance, "super-durable" powder-coating finish, providing superior resistance to weathering and color fading.
The M-Series is custom-fabricated to meet high-quality and demanding requirements. All projects are built to your provided specifications, or if you need design assistance, Alumina's qualified professionals are here to help.

How Do Custom Pool Fences Meet Safety Codes?
Pool fencing is not just about aesthetics; it is primarily about safety. Every pool area must comply with specific safety codes. Gates need to be self-closing and self-latching, and they must open away from the pool. There are strict requirements regarding spacing and height.
We constructed a custom-welded aluminum fence and gate system for The Edge's pool area that meets all these safety requirements. Welded aluminum is the most durable option for this application. It is stronger than bolted systems and does not loosen over time. The connections remain secure even with daily use and exposure to the elements.
Our custom welding allows us to create gates that meet safety regulations while seamlessly integrating with the property's overall design. Instead of installing a generic safety gate that clashes with the aesthetic, you receive a fence-and-gate system that feels intentional and cohesive.
What Does This Project Mean for Residents?
For residents at The Edge, our aluminum deck railing and pool fence system means safety and style work together. They get railings that look like they cost a fortune while staying secure and maintenance-free. Kids can play safely around the pool. Families can enjoy the resort-style amenities without worrying about their railings degrading.
For property management, it means reduced maintenance overhead. No rust, no repainting, no replacements every few years. The aluminum deck railing and pool fence system becomes part of the building's long-term value instead of a recurring expense.
We're proud that The Edge chose Alumina Railing to be part of their community. Projects like this show what's possible when you invest in quality materials, thoughtful design, and proper engineering. That's what we bring to every installation.
"Aluminum railing systems deliver the modern aesthetic that luxury communities demand while providing the durability and safety that protect residents and reduce long-term maintenance costs. The Edge Columbus is a perfect example of how choosing the right materials sets apart truly premium properties."
