National building code states 30". Common sense states anything over 12".
Check with your town/city building inspector for actual legal requirements for your town. Town's requirements may be more stringent than national code.

you don't have to be close to the ground to use a rail, lift that bad boy up as high as you want and you can still use a rail.

It needs a railing no matter how low it is, or how high it is. Codes.

You need to look into your local town or city building codes, every one of them is different. If all else fails call a contractor and ask!

12 to 18 inches in most places. I suggest you err on the side of caution.
