Description
To start ordering your Railing there are number of standard procedures every homeowner need to go thru
– Selecting the desired color
– NUVO railing is available 6’and 8’. Make your drawing and find out how many 6’ and 8’ sections you need. Doing this process try to make all railing sections on a row same size (for 20’ railing section do 5’-5’-5’-5’ from 6’ sections or 7’-7’-7’ from 8’ section and NOT 6’-6’-8’). Sections length are considered from center of post to center of post. Therefore, the actual length of 6’ and 8’ section would be slightly less.
– Determine the height of your railing. As per Ontario buildings code:
i. if the deck/porch height above the grade is 5’ and more then your railing’s handrail should be 42” high from deck surface.
ii. If the deck/porch height from the grade is less than 5’ your railing’s handrail should be 36” high from deck surface.
iii. If the deck/porch height from the grade is less than 2’, then you can have your deck/porch without railing.
