IRC requires railings to sustain 200lbs of force at any point along them, which is at minimum 36" high. 200lbs at 34" of torque puts an enormous force on the fasteners affixing the post to the bracket, and can rip the post right out, if not the first attempt certainly after some wiggling first. | |
