Based on current and past designs, this model represents wooden deck railings typically found on houses across North America. Built to current Canadian Building Code for decks less than 5’10” above grade, this railing features a 6” spindle spacing and is designed to have the top rail set at 36 scale inches (0.225”) above the deck surface, allowing for a scale 6” space below the bottom of the spindles.
The model features scale thickness “lumber” (true 2x2, 2x4 & 2x6 construction!) and are designed to be mated to posts supplied by the modeller. To remain true to scale, a scale 6x6 should be used for the posts (0.040” styrene stock would be more than suitable), and the entire assembly painted to match.
Designers Note: This is a finely detailed, miniature scale model. It is small, delicate and fragile. It is my recommendation that this model not be treated as a toy.
