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.
Often times you want a nice deck without the obstructing view of a railing. So how high can your deck be off the ground before building code requires a guard railing. Surprisingly most building codes allow a height of 30 inches off grade before the guard rail requirements kick-in. This doesn't mean you can't have a deck under 30 inches and have a railing on it. It just means you are not required to put one unless it's higher than 30 from the grade around it.
