Hi Jon,

Sorry for the delay in response. For some reason, this question just now popped up.

We build this deck over 10 years ago...and it still is looking great! :)

The deck is 19 x 17 and the railings were spaced no more than 42 apart. The posts have a 4x4 pressure treated base and then are wrapped with the Ipe'. The Ipe sides are drilled to receive the SS rails. The rails were custom made by a local steel fabricator and were pre-brushed.

When figuring out your angles, first establish the radius, and divide it by the number segments you wish to have. The angles can be figured out after that. There are always structural elements that factor in such as post/beam placements and amount of cantilever.

Hope this helps, and thank you for the kind words,

Dale
