Those bars need to be less than 4 inches apart, or else if a child gets stuck in there it'll fall on you legally because it doesnt meet code. Other than that, excellent idea, very crafty, and smart, even stylish.
buddy it's his private property not a commercial lot, he didnt ask for legal advice either. what he did is fine. nobody is going to get an inspector out for 8 feet of single rail
@@progaper2026 it's not about inspectors, it's about covering yourself. I've seen brothers and sisters, children and parents take each other to court. He could have a friend over who's kid gets stuck and hurt and maybe they're unreasonable about it and want financial compensation? Just looking out for the guy, he did good work, looks great, but might want to eventually give it a redesign that covers his butt.
