As is often the case with a loft, the guardrail presents a challenge where the rail height is interrupted by the rake of the ceiling coming down to meet it. The Loft Surround Safety Rail provides extra safety and stability when venturing in and out of the loft space. It was easy to determine the approximate number of full-height balusters we would need, so we set a stop at the miter saw and cut multiples.In addition, I want you to see how we added backing behind the drywall and how we continued the rail down the rake of the ceiling so the balusters could be securely anchored to the top and bottom. To complete the look, choose decor and furnishings that complement the artistic flair of your railings, achieving a cohesive and visually captivating loft design. We used a couple of scrap pieces of framing material and a torpedo level to test and adjust the angles where the level guardrail met the rake of the ceiling to get the correct angle cuts on the end of the rail. Go from there to the height of your rail—usually 37 inches for residential applications—which allows one inch for carpet and pad, and puts your rail height at 36 inches.

Alternatively, embrace a blend of individual glass posts with materials like metal, stone, or wood for added texture and visual interest. Baluster layouts for this project were pretty simple because we wanted to have a maximum of 4-inch spacing between the balusters.After cutting and checking the angle at the low end of the ceiling rake rail, we positioned and marked it where the top of the guardrail met the ceiling.
