Decksforlife Deck Safety Features
Safety is a priority when it comes to deck planning and building, and proper railing height is a key factor. According to the Building Code of Ontario, if your deck is over 2 feet in height, railing is mandatory (in case if the deck is not over 5 ft height, railing can be 36 inches height). For decks exceeding 5 feet in height, the railing should be at least 42 inches tall, ensuring a secure barrier for everyone on your deck.
