So, some people want to use the appendix for pools as a reference for a deck....without a pool? Seems legit...lol
smh.
smh.
Would you approve it if it had a permanent guard installed instead of a gate? what if I kept a screw gun right beside the guard so I could pull it off at the drop of the hat? The structure is no more or less accessible. What we are trying to do is balance property owner's rights with life safety.rshuey said:So, some people want to use the appendix for pools as a reference for a deck....without a pool?

Required guards (sorry I don't have any ICC codes.) as stated before I doubt that there are too many codes that address ladders. Ultimately this will be a judgment call by the building inspector. I would approve something under my Code's Alternate Solutions.north star said:$ - - - $tmurray [ and others ],
Which section can be cited to require the self latching ?
Using a section from Appendix G will not be applicable as that Appendix is for
swimming pools only.
IMO, ...if the proposed ladder is not the "required" MOE from the residence,
then we cannot regulate it........While I would also like to see a compliant
MOE from the deck to grade, I can find no code section to support that
when I go to court......The gate can be required to meet Table 301.5
loading requirements though !
To Anyone: Please cite the applicable code sections to support a compliant
MOE to the Forum court.

That's a joke, yeah? Why would i inspect a tree house? I don't have tree house certifications.tmurray said:Would you approve it if it had a permanent guard installed instead of a gate? what if I kept a screw gun right beside the guard so I could pull it off at the drop of the hat?

Unfortunately for them, an RDP will need to be hired to design andseal & sign the plans.....If the homeowner does not install it as islatch and meet all the typicals, but how does one prove the gate which is now part ofthe barrier meets the 200 pound load in any direction?"
