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.
The deck is rectangle, 40' long by 16' wide. The decking boards are a little over an inch think. We are looking for maintenance free railing and sleeves and will be doing it ourselves. The deck is 8' off the ground on one end and 3.5' off the ground on the other. We used 4x4 posts and need a sleeve to cover them and 8' railing sections. We really like the post sleeves from deckorator.com, but they are only available in 6x6.
