OBLEM
:
A section of level rail is needed on an intermediate landing.
SOLUTION:
(See Fig. A2-5) Newels “A” and “B” should be the same
height. The balusters on the landing may need to be longer,
and a 2-rise gooseneck may be required. Newel “B” should
use a starting easing.

Instead of a standard gooseneck, an overeasing is desired at
the balcony.
SOLUTION:
The landing/balcon
y newel height must be adjusted to
maintain the proper balcony handrail height. Note: Newel
height must increase the further from the stair the newel is
placed (see Fig. A2-3).

By adding a level quarter-turn to a standard 90° balcony
gooseneck, the center-to-center distance can be achieved
(see Fig. A2-4).
