Materials and Manufacture4.1 General Requirements:4.1.1 Skatepark elements shall be manufactured, assembled, or constructed, or a combination
22、 thereof, using durable materialsfit for the use intended as specified by the manufacturer.4.1.2 Materials shall be tested and documented for durability by the supplier or manufacturer.4.1.3 Ferrous materials for outdoor use shall be inherently corrosion resistant or be provided with a corrosion res
23、istant coating.4.1.4 Wooden materials for outdoor or indoor use shall meet the Environmental Protection Agency and State requirements.5. Performance Requirements5.1 Guardrails:5.1.1 Guardrails shall be designed to minimize the likelihood of climbing, shall be a minimum of 42 in. (1067 mm) high andpr
24、event passage of a sphere equal to or greater than 4.0 in. (102 mm) outside diameter. (Reference: 2009 IBC Sections 1013.2 and1013.3). Guardrails shall be constructed in a manner that does not allow a skateboard underneath and through the opening betweenthe bottom of the rail and the resting deck. R
25、esting/Roll-out decks with an elevation of 38 in. (965 mm) and above shall beequipped with guardrails. An elevated surface is exempt from these requirements if a guardrail would interfere with the intendeduse of the element. See Fig. 1.5.1.2 Return guardrails shall terminate a maximum of 24 in. (610
26、 mm) from the leading edge of the resting deck,. Corners atthe leading edge shall be free of sharp edges and contain a maximum radius or miter of 12 in. (305 mm). See Fig. 1.5.1.3 Adjoining Resting Deck GuardrailsGuardrails spanning adjoining resting decks of different elevations shall beconstructed
27、 in a manner that shall prevent inadvertent falls from one deck over the adjoining guardrail. See Fig. 2.5.1.4 If an element (like a bench, box, rail, etc.) is within 42 in. (1067 mm) radius from the top of the guardrail, then theguardrail height needs to be adjusted to maintain the 42 in. (1067 mm)
28、 minimum height. See Fig. 3.5.2 If protective edging/surface is used, it shall extend a minimum of 4.0 in. (102 mm) behind the coping and be flush with thefinished riding surface within a tolerance of 0.078 in. (2 mm), and shall be strong enough to protect the equipment from damageand excessive wear
29、 due to prolonged use.5.3 Riding surfaces in the same plane shall be contiguous and shall be uniform in friction characteristics. The elevationdifference between adjoining surfaces shall not exceed 0.188 in. (5 mm).5.4 Copings:F2334 1825.4.1 Coping protrusion shall be consistent along resting deck/r
30、iding surface and shall protrude 0.25 6 0.125 in. (6 6 3 mm)above the resting deck and 0.25 + 0.25 in. (6 + 6 mm) 0.125 in. (3 mm) above the riding surface. See Fig. 4.5.4.2 The outside radius of coping shall be a minimum of 1.18 in. (30 mm).5.4.3 Adjoining copings shall be contiguous and flush with
31、in 0.031 in. (1 mm).5.5 Gaps between riding surfaces intended to be in the same plane shall not exceed 0.188 in. (5 mm) in any direction.5.6 Portable Elements shall not move during use.5.7 Approaches/Thresholds:5.7.1 Approaches/thresholds shall provide a smooth transition, and shall be no greater th
32、an 0.125 in. (3 mm) difference to theriding 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 base surface at the leadingedge to the top of the approach/threshold. It is recommended to remove the sharp edge from the top leading edge of theappr

This does not apply to grindrails, ledges, and other similar add-on devices.5.9 Side openings where elements a
34、djoin shall be fully enclosed. Transition sides shall be fully enclosed. See Figs. 6-8.5.10 Stairs used as access to elements shall comply with applicable International Building Codes.
