Thanks, Roger.
 
That does make sense. 6" is a pretty big opening. It seems that I can  
remember having a problem with an inspector on one of my houses a long time  ago 
about that rule. (6" v. 4").
although my concrete stoop was only about 14" above grad  Does  anyone 
remember when that 4" v. 6" rule changed?

That’s what the  spacing used to be 6” but kids where sticking their heads 
through the  balusters at the top of stairs and falling off the step and 
breaking their  necks. So they switched it to 4” spacing .

80% of 1 year old  children's heads will pass through a 6" gap none will
pass through a 4"  gap, similar basis for up to 3 year olds as I  recall.
