SINO WPC

WPC railing have to one of the most expensive parts of building any deck, and subject to the most scrutiny by building inspectors.  This is for good reason, you don’t want a child to get caught in the railing or fall off the deck because they were climbing on the railing.  After you have built your deck platform you need to have railings for safety, unless you are a step down to the ground.  Depending on the type of railing, it could cost more than the entire deck!  Budget will determine what type of railings you can afford.
Choosing the type of railing, can greatly impact how you build your deck, some types need blocking under them for support.  Some railing systems are just a sleeve that slides over 4x4 or 6x6 wooden post.  If a wooden post is needed you need to block that post in, between the joists and attached with carriage bolts, nuts and washers.  Know what type of railing you will be using before you even start building or at the point of finishing the platform surface.  You don’t want to have go and add something else and take off the deck boards you just installed.
A newly redesigned adjustable stair bracket provides an innovative solution to this  stair rail  safety concern. It was designed specifically for stair construction and code compliant rail post support. The standard stair bracket was modified and tested for lateral load stair rail post support for cut stringers, angle stringers and for other applications. In more than twelve individual tests, all brackets withstood a load of 500 pounds applied 42 inches above the nose of the tread (an IBC requirement for non-residential applications), with some tests approaching 600 pounds before failure.
The National Safety Council shows slips and falls on stairs, result in 2,000 fatalities each year, making stairs the most dangerous area of the home. Once the hand grip or hand rail becomes unstable, safety is greatly compromised. This is particularly evident with persons over age 65. NSC statistics show that the leading cause of death and serious injuries for persons over age 65 are slips and falls.”
Secure hand and guardrails are critical for stair safety and there are many viable solutions for securing handrails. Unfortunately, this is not always the case for guardrails, specifically when they are attached to wood stairs. Guardrails are normally secured to rail post supports, which in turn are attached to a stringer. Some within the building industry have expressed concern that the standard installation methods used for rail post attachment fall short of meeting the lateral load capacity required by code. Products, such as the bracket evaluated in ICC-ES’s report for code officials and professionals in the construction industry: ESR-2295, helps ensure that current and future construction meets this requirement.
