Railings are the most visible element of any deck. They make an instant design statement
INTRODUCTION
for all to see and admire from a distance and close up. The important things to do in the building of deck railings are to create a railing that complements your overall deck design, to comply with local building codes and to take the time to do the job as well as possible.
Deck railings do more than add a safety feature to a deck.
They establish the style and limits of the deck space itself.
Local building code standards won't affect the nearly endless number of deck design choices and construction choices to be used.
DECK RAIL
RAILINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
Railings are not necessary on all decks but when they are, usually because of the deck's height above ground level, it is important to make a wise choice as to their design and structure
The strongest and simplest railings are those with horizontal parts secured by bolts or screws to the outside faces of the posts.
Railings are generally required for decks over 36 inches high above ground level and for any set of stairs. It will be as low as 30 inches or as high as 48 inches depending upon the height of the deck above ground level. The spacing distance between the posts depends upon the cap's size and the horizontal rail's length.
