Sandra R. of Georgia looked at the upper loft balcony in her mountain cabin, she saw two problems: it didn’t meet safety codes, and it was starting to look dated. The existing balusters were spaced too far apart—6 inches—and Sandra knew something had to change to keep her family safe.

Enter Snap’n Lock Balusters

Sandra’s cabin balcony had wide-spaced balusters that made the railing unsafe, especially for children. A full tear-down and rebuild would have been costly and time-consuming, so she looked for a smarter, simpler solution.

After discovering Snap’n Lock Balusters from DecksGo, Sandra decided to give them a try.

By installing the balusters between the existing gaps, she was able to bring the loft railing up to code without rebuilding the entire system.

“The installation could not have been easier and it really dressed up our balcony along with making it so much safer”

If you own a cabin, loft, or balcony in regions like North Carolina or Georgia, Sandra’s experience might sound familiar.

Wide-spaced balusters are common in older builds, and while they may look fine at first glance, they often don’t meet safety codes.

Snap’n Lock Balusters provide a simple retrofit solution: no tear-down, no complicated tools, just a quick installation that delivers both safety and style.
