I'm constructing a deck railing with 4"x4" posts, 2"x4" rails, and 1/2" copper balusters. For reasons I won't go into, the spacing between the posts is not equal for each section of railing (i.e., some distances between posts are 44.25", while others are 46", etc.).
Aesthetically, is it more important to maintain the same O.C. spacing between balusters for all sections of the railing (e.g., all balusters are 5" O.C.) or is it more important to maintain equal baluster spacing within a section of the railing (e.g., a 44 1/4" span would result in a baluster spacing of 4.76" while a 32.25" span would result in a baluster spacing of 4.41")
Thanks, Dave
