International Building Code (IBC) compliant for areas elevated 30” above ground

Guard Rail IBC Requirements:

Guard Rails are required on balconies, stairs, ramps, and landings above 30″ high from the floor.

Height

In most states, top rails must be 36″ high for residential buildings and 42″ high for commercial spaces. Staircase railing height is measured from the surface of the tread vertically to the surface of the top rail.

Load

Guard Rails must be able to resist a linear load of 50 lbs per linear foot, and 200 lbs of concentrated load applied in any direction along the top rail or top of a post.

Openings / Clearance

Guard Rails must not have openings that allow a 4” sphere to pass through, with a bigger allowance for the base stairs (6").

FAQs

What tools do I need to install these posts?

We’ll provide all the fasteners you’ll need, including screws for attaching the posts to wood and plastic, as well as anchors for cement and masonry. The installation process will be easiest with a handheld power drill or hammer drill, and a set of screwdriver bits — but any set of screwdrivers will work in a pinch.

How do I clean and maintain my posts?

Cleaning your rails is easy! Our 5-layer weather-resistant coating already protects against most stains, and dirt is easy to clean off. Just wet a non-abrasive or microfiber cleaning cloth with water, and wipe the posts down to clear away any dust.

What are the dimensions of the included tools and what are the considerations when using them?
  • Wood drill bit: 5/16” (M8) W x 3” (75mm) L
  • Masonry drill bit: 5/16” (M8) W x 4-3/4” (120mm) L
  • Wedge anchor: 5/16” (M8) W x 3-1/8” (80mm) L
  • Lag screws: 5/16” (M8) W x 1.9/16” (40mm) L

When installing our posts on any type of flooring (e.g., composite wood) and it is too thin, you will need to purchase longer screws or anchors elsewhere in order for the products to be mounted properly on the inner floor.

Can I install my railings and posts on any surface?

Our railing kits come with the necessary drill bits and wedge anchors to secure the posts onto any surface, be it wood, concrete, or brick. If you are planning on installing the posts on harder surfaces like granite, you will need a diamond drill bit (5/16" x 3.5")—which provide for free. Send us a message if you need one.

To make the installation process seamless, we’ve also included a depth-measuring pencil, washers, and a hex nut driver.

Can these posts be painted or stained to match my decor?

Absolutely! All our posts come powder-coated with a 5-layer black finish that’s made to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. This protective layer defends against flaking, chipping, scratches, and color deterioration. Outdoor paint of any color will adhere to the protective layer — in fact, weather-resistant paint can even add an additional layer of defense against the elements, while customizing your rails to look exactly the way you want.

Do these posts heat up on sunny days?

Like any product made of metal, our posts will heat up a bit on sunny and/or hot days. However, our 5-layer protective powder coating is weather-resistant, and will prevent your railing from becoming too hot to touch. In the unusual circumstance that your railing becomes too hot, simply wiping it down with cold water will quickly cool it off again.

Should I hire a handyman to install my railings, or do it myself?

All our rail kits are designed to be easy to install in an hour or less. As long as you’re comfortable with using simple power tools, you should be able to handle the job without any special assistance. In fact, more than 3,000 happy customers say their railings were remarkably fast and easy to install!
