JayNZ Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I am purchasing balusters/railing etc for the staircases to replace the ones that come with the kit. Just wondering if anyone who's done this before can tell me approx. how many I will need! Would 5 packs of 12 spindles (i.e 60) be enough for all the staircases? Also how many newel posts and how much railing did you use? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbytsdy Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Well let's see here: spindles: 5+11(1st flr staircase)+9(2nd flr landing)+(however many steps on the 2nd flr staircase)+5(3rd flr landing) newel: 3+5(1st flr staircase)+4(2nd flr landing)+1+4(3rd flr landing) railing: at least a couple 18" lengths Hope this helps. I always add on a few pieces and inches to make sure I have enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
