Safety, Codes & Compliance: Built Right, Built to Last
Why Code Compliance Matters
Your railing isn’t just a style choice, it’s a safety system. Legacy Decking installs Deck Railing Systems to meet or exceed local building codes for height, spacing, and load. Code-ready railings protect your family, satisfy HOAs and inspectors, and help prevent costly rework later.
What We Check Before We Build
We start with a site visit and measurements. Then we match materials and mounts to your deck’s structure and exposure.
- Height & Spacing: Clearances for balusters, cable, or glass infill are verified to meet code.
- Loads & Connections: Posts, brackets, and top rails are anchored to withstand required loads.
- Stairs & Landings: Transitions, angles, and handrail returns are planned for safe, smooth movement.
- HOA & Permits: We help with submittals, specs, and inspection expectations.
Addressing Common Pain Points
We hear these concerns often, and solve them up front.
- “Will it pass inspection?” Our plans align with local building codes and inspection checklists.
- “Will it feel solid?” Posts are set, plumbed, and reinforced; connections are tested before sign-off.
- “Will I lose my view?” Choose cable or glass for unobstructed views while maintaining safety.
- “Will upkeep be a hassle?” Aluminum and composite options keep maintenance minimal.
