[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 47798, member: 153"] Re: New outdoor stage laws?!?! Hello Brad,, I suppose my previous post wasn't specific enough...there was a National Building Code, and, by Law, it still exists today because it has not been inacted. But, the main point of my post was that because of the diversity of climate, soils, tides, storm threats, earth quakes, etc... the Federal Government thought best that building codes should be established at the State and/or Local level because of the previously mentioned conditions and possible safety concerns. As an example: What may be applicable in a flood zone (pier footings) may be unnecessary/unwanted in an earthquake zone. OR, Housing insulation roof/ceiling values of R 48 needed in Minnesota may be unnecessary in Hawaii. Also, there are some specific codes that the Federal Government had written in years past that are still the absolute code nation-wide, whether adopted by one of the Code writing agencies or not, they are still in effect: A habitable room must have a Skylight, a Window, or a door that provides natural light. and...a habitable room must have a minimum allowance of natural light that is at least 8% of the floor area. Anyway...none of this matters because it is not for the most part applicable to Stages or Roof Systems...except the stair treads, stair riser heights, guard rails and hand rails.
