nod Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It is 900 is the industry standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 In my personal opinion that wouldn’t pass at all each shelf is a step ladder to be climbed over. So would need a balustrade 900 higher than highest point on that. Please tell me im wrong, but that’s how I would view it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 As per @Russell griffiths it needs to be non-climbable. Cover the top part in broken glass and razor wire to make it safe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
