Installing deck railing is easy if you use an anchored handrail system. Standard rail height is 36 to 42 inches; posts will need to be 10 inches longer. Bolt the posts to the inside of the rim joists. Maximum spacing of posts is 72 inches on center. Bolts should be vertically spaced no less than 5-1/8 inch apart. For a composite railing system, slide the post sleeve over the wood post, then the post sleeve skirt over the post sleeve; both should rest on the decking.
The riser height should be 8.25 inches (21cm) or lower. The nosing protrusion length should be 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) or lower to prevent tripping on the nosing. The headroom is recommended to be 6 feet and 8 inches (203 cm) or higher. The stair width is recommended to be 35 inches (89cm) or longer. The height of the handrail, measured from the nose of the tread, is recommended to be between 34 and 38 inches (86 to 97 cm). The comfortable size of handrail diameter is between 1.25 and 2.68 inches (3.2 to 6.8 cm).
