Honolulu’s Building Code and Lanai Railings!
June 30th, 2008 categories: Reasons To Sell
I love what you could do before the tightening of the building codes. More than likely, the rail above would not be allowed under current building codes. The gaps between the leaves are too wide and a child could fall through. If this home were for sale and you purchased it, be ready for your professional inspector to note the irregularity.
If you have kids, a simple and safe solution, that could keep the view open, would be the installation of 1 inch by 1 inch wire mesh on the inward side of the railing. Another issue that cannot be determined from afar is the height of the rail. To me it looks too low. When buying an older Honolulu home, be sure to check the lanai rails.
