{"product_id":"fast-balcony-aluminum-picket-balcony-railing-system","title":"Fast Balcony Aluminum Picket Balcony Railing System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fast Balcony Aluminum Picket Balcony Railing System is a welded, powder coated guard rail program sold by the section for balconies, elevated decks, and walkway edges. It gives general contractors and modular builders the same picket guard used on the balcony platforms as a standalone system for site-built structures and retrofit runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSections are welded aluminum posts and rails with vertical picket infill set to a 4 in maximum clear opening, shipped in 4, 5, 6, and 8 ft section lengths that assemble into continuous runs. The standard guard height is 42 in, with 36 in available where the project code allows. Sections bolt to the balcony frame, deck structure, or parapet per the released details, with no field welding, and post spacing follows the released engineering for the project. Every section is powder coated after fabrication in Matte Black, White, Bronze, or Slate Gray, with custom colors quoted on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded aluminum picket guard sections in 4, 5, 6, and 8 ft lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical pickets set to a 4 in maximum clear opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 in guard height standard;
