Ok ... here's pics of my design ... I obviously prefer rustic. The
balcony railing is 42" high ... that's the code here for a 2nd story,
and the lower railing is 36" high, again by the code. The thing about
the design is that by having that 6" wide beer shelf, er, top rail, the
railing has the illusion of being not so high. And speaking of high, I
find that after a few beers, placing them consistently on the railing,
gets more difficult. That 6" wide shelf, er, rail, ensures that no
beers acidentally go over the side ... and that's what I call drinking
responsibly :-)
