That would, of course, include spaces between Balusters. The following are the maximum widths between each pair of Sawn Balusters when they are installed touching side-by-side: SB#6 - 3-5/8" SB#5 - 2" Classical Urn - 4-3/4" Spear - 4-1/8" Heart & Fleur - 3-3/8" Sawn Balusters can alternate with plain pickets to help meet the 4" sphere code requirement. |
