Before you decide on the style of railing or baluster, check local building codes for the specs on deck railings. Usually deck railings (guardrails) are required for any deck higher than 30 inches above the ground and for stairs with five or more steps. Local building codes are quite specific about this. Check with the authorities in your area for these specifications. The height of a deck railing is usually between 30 and 40 inches, but again this can be subject to various restrictions normally spelled out in the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or more recently, the International Building Codes (IBC) that have been adopted by most states and counties as LAW. Here are some typical specs for deck railings that you should verify with the building codes in your area: railing height: 36" to 42", baluster spacing: 4" to 6", post-to-baluster spacing: 4" to 6" & deck-to-bottom rail spacing: 2" to 4". Typically, decks and "walkways" elevated LESS than about 30 inches above the surrounding ground level (grade level) do not require a building permit. In this event, "guard rails" may not be required at all. If the deck is elevated greater than 8 inches above grade, stairs are appropriate where the stair height should not be greater than 8 inches high and not less than 12 inches in width (measured front to back.) If more than 5 stairs are needed to reach the deck surface, (40 inches from grade) stair railings will usually be required by Building Code mandates and a Building Permit will normally be required as the project is subject to inspections. If the deck and guard rails are installed in a commercial or public access site, the entire project may ALSO be subject to additional laws governed by the federal Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA.) -- BF

The answer depends on the fabrication materials of the walkway.Contact the materials' vendor and ask whether water-seal is recommended, and if so, what products are recommended to seal the walkways.
