Title: Porch Railing Ballisters
Post by: gougef on December 10, 2004, 01:08:32 PM
How apart?

Is there a code governing this?

For some reason I am thinking 4".

Thanks,

Frankie

- Stair balusters can have Max. 4" clear Opng  between.

This is my code note on this topic.

The idea being that a baby's head would be larger than a 4" dia. ball and could not get stuck between the balusters.

Many code rules have come about from such touching accidents.
