  "requirements": "Use the clear opening between the inner faces of the posts, the actual width of each baluster, and your required maximum clear gap. All three measurements use the selected unit. End gaps and internal gaps are equal. Up to 10,000 whole-width balusters and six decimal places per dimension are supported. Some width and gap combinations cannot fit. This tool lays out a straight opening; it does not determine local building-code requirements, structural strength or sloped-stair geometry. Changing units keeps the entered numbers.",
