I really want to be able to see through my deck railing. The requirement is that a 4" sphere should not be able to fit through any of the spaces/gaps between balusters. People typicall use the 2"x2" square pressure treated balusters. That's fine, but from an angle, they start to become very disruptive to the view. I'm thinking about using 1/2" electrical metal conduit as balusters. 2x4 top and bottom rails with 1/2" holes drilled part way through to hold the conduit sections. Seems pretty easy. Would the conduit hold up outdoors (this would not be the rigid metal heavy stuff, but the light weight RMC that is less than $2 per 10' piece at lowes and HD).
What do you think?
Thanks,
Doug
