Enclosure
The term fence is also used in building codes for the more commonly known term railing . According to this, a fence is a structural device that is intended to prevent people from falling over lower-lying areas on a building plot . The generic term fence is used for railings, barriers and parapets , these are used for traffic safety on a building plot or within a building.
conditions
Enclosures are always required where people can enter areas as planned (e.g. stairwells , balconies , etc.) and where there is a height difference of more than 1 m. For areas that cannot be walked on as planned, however, there is no obligation to attach a fence, for example, this applies to roof areas not intended for walk-through (flat roofs covered with gravel) or for building plots that are not used as recreational, recreational or garden areas.
All types of fencing must ensure both stability and traffic safety, so that it can be protected against unintentional falls. For this purpose, a static calculation is usually required, which, in addition to the profiles to be used, must also include static proofs with information on the anchoring ( dowels , concrete bolts , etc.) of the reinforcement. Corresponding corrosion protection is also required for metal railings; for wooden railings, all wood must be protected permanently and effectively against the effects of rot.
Enclosures within residential buildings or buildings in which small children (under 6 years of age) have regular access (e.g. kindergartens ) must be designed in such a way that it is not easier for them to climb over, e.g. by installing offset horizontal bars.
