Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Guard Bottom Rail Clearance

 

Hello All,

A contractor and I have been searching in the 2004 FBC for the maximum

clearance space between the floor and the bottom rail of a guardrail is

defined.  We know section 1012 defines all of the other maximum spacing

requirements.  But we can not find this one.

In the old days it was called the "Coke Bottle Rule" and was meant to keep

things from rolling off balcony edges.  I thought the spacing was 1-1/2" off

of the deck.

Can some one point me in the right direction?

 

T.R. Hernacki P.E.
