Begin by assessing your banister, whether it's an existing structure or a new installation. The key is to ensure proper spacing for safety and aesthetics. Measure and mark the locations where each baluster will be placed. It is crucial for these holes to be equidistant, meaning they are spaced evenly apart. For safety regulations, the spacing between balusters should typically be no more than four inches. Use painter's tape or a measuring tape and pencil to mark these points on the handrail and stair treads where the balusters will be seated.
