According to most building codes, handrails are located between 34" (864 mm) and 38" (965 mm) and have dimensional limitations regarding graspability.
Handrail clearance The distance between the wall and handrail gripping surface is also governed by local code with the most common requirement being 1-1/2" (38 mm) minimum.
Garden arched bridge plans (753 words)
Make the laminated handrail arch (on top of the beam arch which is still lying in place until glue has dried) in the same way as the laminated arch beam, but use only two 100x25x2700 (1x4x 9ft) boards and not four.
Bolt the handrail uprights to the arch beams so that 4 uprights are spread evenly along each arch beam and so that each upright is at right angles to the arch beam.
Trim the ends of the handrail arch frames (at right angles to the end of the arch beam) and bend fix two handrail capping boards 100x25x3000 (1"x 4"x 10ft) to the top of the handrail arch frames.
