ITEM DESCRIPTION |
Construction estimating unit cost for installation
of a simple 2x4 deck railing.
|
UNIT
SIZE |
One lineal foot of railing.
NOTE-- This cost only includes the deck railing.
To calculate the total cost of a deck,
you'll also need to add posts, deck
floor joists, deck
flooring, and possibly
other structural framing work. You may also
need to add costs for connecting the deck
to an existing structure, including flashing
and other details. |
LABOR
COSTS |
We figure that a carpenter can install approximately
3 lineal feet of finished deck railing per hour.
|
MATERIAL
COSTS |
The cost includes 3 feet of treated 2x4 lumber
and 1 foot of treated 2x6 lumber per foot of railing, with an 8%
waste factor. This provides a railing member every 12" with
a 2x6 cap on the top of the railing.
NOTE-- In some localities you may need to provide
a higher railing height and/or tighter railing spacing (this format
provides a 3 foot railing height with 8 1/2" openings between
the rails).
