Balusters

Balusters are the small vertical pieces of wood or plastic that run along the underside of a railing. They serve several purposes. They add some strength to the railing itself, supporting it every few inches. They also help keep things (and often children) from slipping underneath the railing and falling off of the deck or landing.

Depending on the application and the desired effect, there are lots of different sort of baluster. For more on balusters outside, click here or go into the deck section with the navigation bar.
For more on balusters inside, click here or go to the stair section using the navigation bar.
