âI think whatâs changed a bit over the years is â over time, the concentration of the active ingredient, THC, has increased dramatically in the marijuana that is available for people to smoke,â Ball said in a video.
Exterior residential entrance steps are usually about 7 inches high, so a porch with more than 2 steps would be about 21 inches high. Most building codes require a 36 inch high guard (railing) if the change in level is 30 inches or more.
Back to the hardware stores, to look at what they stock. HomeDepot has the Williamsburg style columns like what is currently on the house. And their deluxe railing was very nice. They even had a nice stair railing kit. But one big problem, the railing the stock is only 5 feet 7 inches in length, as is their stair railing kit. The distance between the columns on my porch are (starting from the left) 6 feet 4 1/4 inches, 6 feet 3 3/8 inches, and on the right side 7 feet 4 inches.
