Materials and Manufacture4.1 General Requirements:4.1.1 Skatepark elements shall be manufactured, assembled,or constructed, or a combination thereof, using durable mate-rials fit for the use intended as specified by the manufacturer.4.1.2 Materials shall be tested and documented for durab
19、il-ity by the supplier or manufacturer.4.1.3 Ferrous materials for outdoor use shall be inherentlycorrosion resistant or be provided with a corrosion resistantcoating.4.1.4 Wooden materials for outdoor or indoor use shall meetthe Environmental Protection Agency and State requirements.5. Performance
20、Requirements5.1 Guardrails:5.1.1 Guardrails shall be designed to minimize the likeli-hood of climbing, shall be a minimum of 42 in. (1067 mm)high and prevent passage of a sphere equal to or greater than4.0 in. (102 mm) outside diameter. (Reference: 2009 IBCSections 1013.2 and 1013.3). Guardrails sha
21、ll be constructed ina manner that does not allow a skateboard underneath andthrough the opening between the bottom of the rail and theresting deck. Resting/Roll-out decks with an elevation of 38 in.(965 mm) and above shall be equipped with guardrails. Anelevated surface is exempt from these requirem
22、ents if aguardrail would interfere with the intended use of the element.See Fig. 1.5.1.2 Return guardrails shall terminate a maximum of 24 in.(610 mm) from the leading edge of the resting deck,. Cornersat the leading edge shall be free of sharp edges and contain amaximum radius or miter of 12 in. (3
23、05 mm). See Fig. 1.5.1.3 Adjoining Resting Deck GuardrailsGuardrails span-ning adjoining resting decks of different elevations shall beconstructed in a manner that shall prevent inadvertent fallsfrom one deck over the adjoining guardrail. See Fig. 2.5.1.4 If an element (like a bench, box, rail, etc.
24、) is within 42in. (1067 mm) radius from the top of the guardrail, then theguardrail height needs to be adjusted to maintain the 42 in.(1067 mm) minimum height. See Fig. 3.5.2 If protective edging/surface is used, it shall extend aminimum of 4.0 in. (102 mm) behind the coping and be flushwith the fin
25、ished riding surface within a tolerance of 0.078 in.(2 mm), and shall be strong enough to protect the equipmentfrom damage and excessive wear due to prolonged use.5.3 Riding surfaces in the same plane shall be contiguousand shall be uniform in friction characteristics. The elevationdifference betwee
26、n adjoining surfaces shall not exceed 0.188in. (5 mm).5.4 Copings:5.4.1 Coping protrusion shall be consistent along restingdeck/riding surface and shall protrude 0.25 6 0.125 in. (6 6 3mm) above the resting deck and 0.25 + 0.25 in. (6 + 6 mm) 0.125 in. (3 mm) above the riding surface. See Fig. 4.5.4
27、.2 The outside radius of coping shall be a minimum of1.18 in. (30 mm).FIG. 1 GuardrailF23340925.4.3 Adjoining copings shall be contiguous and flushwithin 0.031 in. (1 mm).5.5 Gaps between riding surfaces intended to be in the sameplane shall not exceed 0.188 in. (5 mm) in any direction.5.6 Portable
28、Elements shall not move during use.5.7 Approaches/Thresholds:5.7.1 Approaches/thresholds shall provide a smooth transi-tion, and shall be no greater than 0.125 in. (3 mm) differenceto the riding surface.5.7.2 Approach/thresholds shall be between 0.12 in. (3 mm)and 0.19 in. (5 mm) from the top of the
29、 base surface at theleading edge to the top of the approach/threshold. It isFIG. 2 Adjoining Resting Deck GuardrailFIG. 3 Guardrail HeightF2334093recommended to remove the sharp edge from the top leadingedge of the approach/threshold. See Fig. 5.5.8 Stand-alone elements greater than 48 in. (1219 mm)
30、 inheight must have equal or greater width. This does not apply togrind rails, ledges, and other similar add-on devices.5.9 Side openings where elements adjoin shall be fullyenclosed. Transition sides shall be fully enclosed. See Figs.6-8.5.10 Stairs used as access to elements shall comply withappli
31、cable International Building Codes. Performance Stairsare exempt from this requirement.6. Owners Responsibility6.1 Signage:6.1.1 Skatepark signage shall be provided by the owner/operator for installation on a signboard at the skatepark.6.1.2 Skatepark signage, free standing or fixed fence, mustcompl
32、y with the following:6.1.2.1 Convey safety information to the user and to thoseproviding parental or guardian supervision.6.1.2.2 Indicate that adult supervision of minors is or is notpresent.6.1.2.3 Indicate the Owner-Operator Emergency telephonenumbers.6.1.2.4 Indicate Emergency Telephone numbers
33、for Medi-cal, Ambulance and Police.6.1.2.5 Indicate any applicable regulations regarding the useof safety gear.6.1.2.6 Indicate there is an inherent risk in the participationof skatepark activities. Users of skateparks, by participation,accept the risks inherent in such participation of which theord
34、inary prudent person is or should be aware. Users have aduty to exercise good judgment and act in a responsible mannerwhile using the skatepark element and obey all oral, or writtenwarnings, or both, prior to or during participation, or both.6.1.2.7 Indicate users have a duty not to participate in o
35、r onany skatepark, skatepark element or skatepark elements whileunder the influence of drugs or alcohol.6.1.2.8 Shall be easily read and readily visible to theintended viewers/users.6.1.3 Separate signage shall be posted warning anyone in oraround the skatepark of inherent risks, including flying sk
36、ate-boards, bikes and sudden elevation changes.7. Maintenance7.1 Skatepark Element and ElementsThe designer ormanufacturer of skatepark element and elements shall provideto the owner/operator clear and concise inspection, mainte-nance, and repair instructions, including, but not limited to,what, whe
37、n, and how to inspect maintain, and repair.7.2 Element Riding and Base SurfacesThe owner/operator shall maintain all riding surfaces within the skateparkfree from extraneous materials that could cause injury andeliminate all holes, ruts, or tripping hazards that could causeinjury.7.3 RecordsThe owne
38、r/operator shall establish and main-tain detailed installation, inspection, maintenance, and repairrecords for each skatepark.8.
