Better a baluster too many than a gap too wide.

Estimate only. Quantities are rounded up from the sizes you enter, and sizes are nominal. Have a sales associate check the list before you cut.

Balusters are spaced so a 4" sphere can't pass. Always check local building code for rail height, baluster spacing, graspability, riser height and tread depth.

Stock and prices can vary by store on some items; any store can check the others by phone. We're proud of our free 30-day returns, no questions asked, on all in-stock items, so unopened leftovers go back free. Special orders can't be returned.
