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 minimum height from the deck boards to top of the guardrail is 36 inches per the Georgia deck code (see Figure 27 on page 15). The existing deck rail is 37-1/2 inches high so I was able to install the guard posts before tearing off the rail cap and pickets. I measured and sawed 46-1/4 inch long guard posts that ran from the bottom edge of the 2Ã10 beams to the rail cap. This gave me two 4Ã4 guard posts per 8 foot piece of lumber with scrap.
