Baluster Spacing
You are going to install a handrail at the top of a balcony. Your total
span is 156 Inches and you would like the space between the balus-
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
1. Estimate number of balusters in span.
o o 0.
1 5 6 i ÷ 156 inch
5 i 1 / 2 =* 28.36364
(28 balusters)
*Desired spacing plus baluster width (4” plus 1-1/2”).
2. Find total space ‘occupied’ by the balusters by multiplying the
width of each baluster by the rounded number of balusters (found
above):
1 i 1 / 2 x 1-1/2 inch
2 8 = 42 inch
3. Find total space between all balusters:
1 5 6 i – 156 inch
4 2 i = 114 inch
4. Find actual baluster spacing by dividing total space between all
balusters by the number of spaces between the balusters (number
of balusters plus one equals 29):
1 1 4 i ÷ 114 inch
2 9 = 3-15/16 inch
