We just purchased our home and the deck off the house was not
completed. Everything was done except the handrails. We have all the
handrails completed around the deck except for the stairs.

I was wondering if their is a standard angle for the stair railing?
Is their a formula that should be used to calculate this?

Thanks
Amy.

It should follow the angle of the stairs. Standard height is between 30"
and 34". A quick call to the building inspector will verify the code in
your area.
