Deck Spindles
This is one that I've run across several times and I just don't like it. I believe the code calls for a minimum resistance to force applied over a given area for railings of this sort. And while that might be okay when the deck is first built, over time the wood dries and things loosen up. The small brads or finish nails just about fall out after the deck is several years old.
I just picture a child running at the railing from the deck surface. It baffles me that railings are built like this.
