I can’t seem to figure out how to space my deck balusters evenly. I have several different post spacings. I didn’t understand the slant-rule method described in “Letters”. For instance, it was mentioned to put up a baluster on each end….What spacing from the post? Can someone re-explain it to me? Many thanks!
