i thought it was a rise of more than 6" that required a handrail for ramps.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit of a trick question and doesn't provide enough detail to know the rise (6") or length (72") that would trigger handrail requirements. However, based on the given slopes, we know that 1:20 is shallow enough not to be considered a ramp.
