Innovative Aluminum railings can be manufactured in a variety of heights, with 36″ and 42″ being the most common, and custom heights available when needed.
Building-code requirements vary by region, but generally:
- Residential decks 6 ft or lower to the ground typically require a minimum railing height of 36″
- Residential decks higher than 6 ft, as well as multi-family and commercial projects, commonly require a 42″ minimum height
- Pool areas and specialty applications may have additional height or non-climbability rules depending on local bylaws
Because codes differ between municipalities, your local building authority has final approval. Your dealer or our team can help you confirm the correct height for your specific project and location.
