BalusterPro is a unique tool designed for carpenters and woodworkers, but also useful for do-it-yourselfers and homeowners.
Makes calculating spacing of handrail balusters a quick and easy task. Can be used for any job requiring equal spacing between boards or slats.
-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.

Time saver Exponentially faster than doing it on my construction pro. Always dead on accurate and I don't know why you would need more than 8' anyway, at least not in any state I'm licensed to build in.

App Would have five stars, but the iPhone version is better. No 8' limit! Why oh why does it have an 8' limit?

Htc g2 Sucks out of the many times I used it, was maybe accurate twice. And won't go over an 8 ft. Span, don't recommend anyone waste their money
