Furniture Deliveries

The delivery company should be able to work with the new decks to get the furniture in the house. If you purchase furniture/appliances and are concerned about it fitting in your unit please contact the delivery company to discuss.

I'm not so sure a delivery company could get a major appliance through the 30 inch space now left at the top of the stairs. I believe the old spacing was closer to 40 inches. My concern is more to home owners moving out or in, and trying fit their furniture through this space!!!

Well...it's too late now...it's not like they can come and just move the fence back a bit. It's all custom built, so we'll have to make due with wht we have.

I know that someone can lift a 300 lb item over a 30 inch high fence. but can that same person lift a 300 lb item over a 30" railing when they are standing in a 2' deep hole. Because that's what you have to do when you are standing 2 stairs down.
Whoever designed and approved the railing had no idea what they were doing. If they did it to sell $350.00 gates they should have checked with the population as to who wanted them.
The railings have to be modified.

According to the Building Code Act:

Subsection 9.8.2. Stair Dimensions
9.8.2.1. Stair Width

9.8.2.1. Exit stairs and public stairs shall have a width, measured between wall faces or guards (railings), of not less than 900 mm (36”)

Would the board please immediately confirm that the proposed 30” opening in the railings on the back decks is in fact legal? Thanks.

So, the 30in opening in the exterior exit stairs for the back deck people means the railing obstructs the bulding code and fire code minimim of 36 inches. please have this confirmed ASAP

I'm wondering why no one is addressing this problem. It is an obvious code vialation. I noticed that people are beginning to remove the stair rail and side rail when the need to move things in or out. Not really an ideal set up. Not to mention the breaking of fire and building codes!!!!
