Question
Is it the intent of the guard opening limitations to apply to all railing systems, even if the railing is for decoration and not required by code?
Answer Published 10/03/2011 at 9:15 AM
The described decorative railing system is not a guard. The
picket spacing and opening requirement applies only to code
required guards.
