Customer Question
|
What is the standard spacing of balusters and how often should I insert newell posts? Additionally what is the normal height of the top rail above the deck?
|
|
Rickmans Advice
|
This is a guideline only as you will need to check your local council bylaws.
The standard spacing between balusters is 100mm. The standard height of the top rail is 1m above the bottom rail
