I'm trying to understand what is meant by section 3.3.1.17 'Guards' of the Ontario Building Code.
link to building code: http://www.buildingcode.online/328.html
Where it states:
"openings through any guard that is required by Sentence (1) shall be of a size that will prevent the passage of a sphere having a diameter more than 100 mm unless it can be shown that the location and size of openings that exceed this limit do not represent a hazard."
Can someone clarify if this is referring to just the vertical member spacing of the guardrail or does this also apply to the triangular spacing from the top of the thread to the bottom of the rail?
