Thanks for the comments...Rob, this is outdoors down their walkway and I think the four inch ruling isn't mandatory for outdoor railings. The spaces are pretty much on target except a few areas. I spoke to the client previously, and I maybe I will have them sign a "not reponsible. for injury" type form
The railings will be painted with Benjamin Moore's Bronze outdoor paint which has a rust inhibitor then highlighted with
Guilder's Paste. The wings will have irridescent green glass inset. Then the two panels on the porch which will be plasma cut images (not done yet) might also have stained glass added to them. I'd like to end the porch stairway with a dragonfly newel post....haven't come up with a safe design yet. I'll keep you posted. janet R.
