Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

Yes, adding railing to a deck is a great way to improve safety and your home’s aesthetic appeal. Railings can be constructed from wood, metal, or composite, and there are plenty of choices regarding design and style. Always consult local building codes before starting any building project—there are often requirements regarding spacing and height that can differ slightly from place to place.

Standard residential stair treads need to be at least 1 inch thick. Open staircases without risers must be at least 1-1/2 inches thick. 

Creaking, visible cracks, or loose sections suggest it’s time for a replacement.

Railing height codes do not differ for indoor and outdoor structures. Instead, what will have the biggest impact is the type of rail (hand versus guard rail), what your local building codes dictate, and the scope or height of your stairs, deck, or balcony to begin with. 

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.
