What are code requirements of concern when integrating a fence with a segmental retaining wall?
The IBC section 1607.7.1 addresses requirements for fencing. When a retaining wall reaches heights in the 18” – 48” range (local municipal dependent), a fall hazard is created that triggers the code requiring a fence. The fence system must also be able to resist concentrated loads ranging from 200lb to 500lbs.
