We suggest spacing DeckoRail metal balusters 4-1/2″ on-center. This leaves 3-3/4″ spacing between Round balusters and 3-1/2″ between Arch, Contour, and Rectangular balusters, which meets most major building code requirements. We recommend spacing Glass balusters 7-1/2″ on-center for 3-1/2″ spacing between balusters. Always check with your local building code official to ensure code compliance prior to installation.
