We are having our old deck replaced. What should I expect as a

Darn good question. If a person, babies included, can put the skull
through between the railings it is not too difficult to squeeze the
rest of a normal sized body through. Done it lots of times as a
school kid.

I built my deck with the railing slats at 4.5 inches.
