Guidelines for spacing between cable components are straightforward and simple. According to international building codes ICC, [4] openings between cables should not exceed 4". Moreover, a 4" sphere should not be able to pass through the openings. Spacing between posts should be kept consistent (when possible) along the assembly.
Current versions of these codes and standards now agree that handrail is defined as either a circular cross section with an outside diameter of 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (32 mm) minimum and 2 inches (51 mm) maximum or a non-circular cross section with a perimeter dimension of 4 inches (102 mm) minimum and 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (159 mm) maximum and a ...

Guard rails in buildings can be numerous, and are required by building codes in many circumstances. Handrails along stairways may be supported by balusters forming a balustrade, and catwalks (a type of footbridge) and balconies are also lined with them.

The spacing between pickets must be less than 4". If space between pickets is less than 1 3/4'', rule #2 does not apply and fence does not have to be taller than 48'' (because the tighter picket spacing has made climbing much more difficult). The space between the bottom horizontal rail and the ground must be less than 2".
MasterFormat is a standard for organizing specifications and other written information for commercial and institutional building projects in the U.S. and Canada. [1] Sometimes referred to as the "Dewey Decimal System" of building construction, MasterFormat is a product of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and Construction Specifications Canada (CSC).
A specification often refers to a set of documented requirements to be satisfied by a material, design, product, or service. [1] A specification is often a type of technical standard . There are different types of technical or engineering specifications (specs), and the term is used differently in different technical contexts.
