If your deck isn’t going to be flat to the ground, it’s a good idea to have some kind of balustrade to avoid any tripping. If the gap between the deck and the ground is less than 600mm, use a 900mm balustrade. If it’s higher than 600mm, the balustrade should be 1100mm tall.
Montacute
Montacute is a little village and civil parish in Somerset, England, 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) west of Yeovil. The village has a population of 831 (2011 census). The name Montacute is thought by some to originate from the Latin "Mons Acutus", describing the conically intense St Michael's Hill dominating the village to the west. A different view is that it is called after Drogo de Montagu, whose household originated from Montaigu-les-Bois, in the arrondissement of Coutances. Mortain held Montacute after 1066, Drogo was a close affiliate. The village is developed virtually entirely of the regional hamstone. From the 15th century till the start of the 20th century it developed the heart of the estate of the Phelips household of Montacute House. The town has a fine middle ages church, as well as was the site of a Cluniac abbey, the lodge of which is currently a private house. At the centre of the village is a big square called the 'District' around which are grouped picturesque cottages as well as a pub, the Phelips Arms; there is a second public house and resort situated in the village, called the King's Arms.
