How high must a deck railing be?

Under the BC Building Code, a deck more than 600 mm above the ground needs a guard at least 900 mm high. Over 1800 mm, at least 1070 mm. Openings must stop a 100 mm ball.

When do steps need a handrail?

Under the BC Building Code, steps with four or more risers need a handrail. It sits 865 mm to 1070 mm above the front edge of the treads.
