How to use the picket / baluster space calculator:

1. Enter the length of your channel, top bar, bottom bar, or panel
2. Enter the width of your picket / baluster material
3. Enter the degree of the railing panel.
4. Enter the target picket space. If you enter 4 (inches), the calculator will find the minimum number of pickets required to achieve this space. The measurements are conservative, meaning it will get as close to 4 inches as possible while maintaining an even space throughout the distribution. This ensures you meet regulatory requirements while obtaining the most efficient material requirements and perfect baluster spacing.
