Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

The four-inch ball rule for railing is a rule of thumb used when installing or replacing railings on stairways and decks. It refers to the gaps that naturally occur between balusters or other infills in a railing system. The rule states that a four-inch sphere should be unable to pass through any of the gaps. This helps prevent the possibility of people or animals slipping through.

Local building codes can vary, but it's most common for a handrail to be required when there are three or more steps. It may be a good idea to install one with two-step stairs if someone in the home may have difficulty using the stairs without one. Always check local codes to see what's required in your area. 

While they sound similar, handrails and guardrails serve different purposes. A handrail is the part of the railing you grip for balance and support while walking up or down stairs. A guardrail, on the other hand, is a safety barrier designed to prevent falls from elevated platforms such as balconies, decks, or stair landings. A single rail system may serve both functions in some staircases, but code requirements can differ for each.

Whether or not any project is DIY-able depends on your personal level of handiness and willingness to extend time and effort. But in short, yes, you can install deck railing yourself if you have some basic skills. Certain types of deck railing, like cable or rope, are easier to install than wood or composite railing or more complicated types like sunburst railing.

Building codes include several requirements that deal with the height, extension, and placement of staircase handrails. If your staircase is wider than 44 inches, for instance, you must install handrails on each side. If narrower than that, choose the side option that provides the most secure support structure for the handrail.
