Apart from the dielectric union that can occur between dis-similar metals, you have additional code compliance concerns when using any type of baluster to make sure it meets your lcoal minimum code requirement for lateral load.
Most codes require that any balutser be able to resist a load of at least 50lbs per sf from any lateral force.
Whether or not you can use the copper you suggest and on what spacing will be a matter of your lcoal code....and may not be permitted at all depending upon the loads... |
