Printable Version. A deck railing must be built to comply with your local code requirements. For instance, a deck rail should be at least 36 tall and should not have any gaps that are greater than 4. To ensure its stability, the railing should be securely attached to the deck frame as opposed to the deck surface.
Second Step. Determine the total length of the railing posts. The length includes 7.5â for the notch inside the joist, 1.25â for the deck boards, 1.5â for the bottom rail, 34.25â for the baluster, 1.5â for the top rail and 2â extra for a decorative cap to sit on. The total worked out to exactly 48â. Very convenient.
