Secure the Posts. Bolt the posts to the inside of the rim joists. Maximum spacing of posts is 72 inches on center. Bolts should be vertically spaced no less than 5-1/8 inch apart. For a composite railing system, slide the post sleeve over the wood post, then the post sleeve skirt over the post sleeve; both should rest on the decking. Attach the top and bottom rails to the inside of the posts using two 3-inch screws diagonally 2 inches apart. Attach the top cap to the posts using two 3-inch screws diagonally 2 inches apart. Screw the top cap to the top rail every 12 inches.
There are usually codes that apply to deck railings. If the deck is more than a certain distance from the ground, often 30 inches, a railing may be required. If the deck is closer to the ground, the railing may be optional. Also, the code will allow only a certain gap between the ballusters, sometimes called spindles, 4 - 9, so that a child cannot slip through. The height of the railing is regulated, too - 36 - 42. Be sure you check all of this before beginning.
