I'm having difficulty determining whether guards are required for a roof top healing garden. At the Owners request, a cable rail system is to be installed on the open side of the garden. There is a parapet (call it parapet 1) on the open side that separates the roof where the garden will be from another, adjacent roof. The adjacent roof is at the same elevation as the roof where the garden will be and it is 93' to the edge of that roof where another parapet (parapet 2) is located. The Owner wants the cable rail as a deterrent to people climbing over parapet 1 onto the adjacent roof. Since the two roofs are at the same elevation, and it is 93' to parapet 2, I am of the opinion that the cable railing does not need to meet guard requirements in 1606.8.1. Am I interpreting 1013.2 Where Required correctly?
