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-
ters to be about 4 Inches. If each baluster is 1-1/2 Inches wide, what
is the exact spacing between each baluster?

(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):

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):
