The elegant porch:- BALUSTER SPECS -

Sizes: Typically, a Baluster is around 30 inches high and 3/4

inches thick. 27 inches high is also a popular

size. Keep in mind that your bottom rail will be about 4 inches off the

deck floor with a top rail above the balusters. While I can adjust the

height, I think you will find the 30 inch size perfect.

Another popular size is 27 inches. Yes I have those available also. Call for

custom sizes.

We offer many Traditional Baluster

designs for your Victorian or Country

style porch. This tends to be a large project due the the amount of area that Balusters need to

cover. I have provided a standard size, typically

30 inches tall. I can adjust most of the

Balusters designs to be shorter or taller. !- SOLID PINE -

INSTALLING - I construct all the balusters to be just ever- so slightly less than 3/4 inches thick. This way you can slide them into a 3/4 inch groove cut into a railing. Another popular way is to nail them flat against a crosspiece and then put a strip of moulding over the top and bottom. SEE WEBSITE FOR VIDEO.

CONSTRUCTION: We use solid 3/4 inch thick Pine in the construction of our sawn balusters. This is a beautiful wood and ideal for this type of application as strength is so important. All balusters are shipped sanded, primed, and ready to paint.

TIME TO CONSTRUCT: Orders for Sawn Porch Balusters tend to be larger orders. Please allow 10 days to two weeks to produce your order.

HOW MANY DO I NEED?

As a rule of thumb - figure 15-17 FULL sections to cover a 10 foot span.
