***Named one of the top 100 new home products for 2011 in This Old House magazine***

NOTE: The default minumum and maximum are easily changed in the preferences (Preferences>Slider Values).

BalusterPro is a unique tool designed for carpenters and woodworkers, but also useful for do-it-yourselfers and homeowners.

BalusterPro is a unique and handy tool designed for carpenters and woodworkers, but useful for do-it-yourselfers and homeowners alike. BalusterPro makes the chore of calculating spacing of handrail balusters a quick and elementary task. It can also be used for any job requiring equal spacing between boards or slats. Use for picket fences, bench/chair backs,decking or column flutes.

-Flat and Stair Runs
-Tapered Balusters
-Inch or Metric

To use, enter the run length and baluster width and then slide the 'Balusters Needed' slider until 'Spacing Between Balusters' reaches a desired value (such as meeting code requirements). The number of balusters needed is displayed above the slider.

What users are saying:

Punch in staircase and handrail dimensions, choose the configuration, and this app saves you the tedium of calculating baluster spacing. Hallelujah.

-This Old House Magazine


BalusterPro is an awesome app and can be used for a multitude of layout tasks, at your desk, on the job, in your car—wherever your phone goes, and it only costs a few bucks.

I have used this app to do incredible things. Quickly solved equal divisions within its parameters. Wish the would open it up to any building dimensions. Easily space openings and siding applications. Board and Baton. Contemporary panel siding. Multiple framing applications

App is limited to stair angles of between 35 to 40 for some reason, so was unable to calculate spindles on a recent stair refurbishment of 45 degrees. Update: Developer pointed out default angles can be changed in preferences "Thank you" some more sensible defaults might be good though.

As a long time carpenter I can say this app is one of the most important tools I have when it comes to building railings, and comes in handy for other times you want something equally spaced out. On Android when wanting text to speech you just have to long press column header. Kudos to the devs!
