There are strict regulations which will impact your design,so please keep this in mind to ensure a safe regulated balustrade when designing this.
In Queensland, if a deck or balcony is one metre or higher above the ground,balustrades need to be at least one metre high.
For decks more than one metre above the ground, openings in balustrades,including decorative balustrades, cannot be greater than 125 millimetres.
If your deck is more than four metres above the ground, balustrades cannot have any climbable elements located between 150 millimetres and 760 millimetres from the floor.
Balustrades must be constructed so they can resist forces or pressure that can​reasonably expected to be placed upon them, including people leaning against them and strong winds.
