[Brian E. Kelly]

Well are there any National requirements?

[James F. McKee]

I know for sure once the bumper penetrates the drywall you've gone too far !!!!

As a safety device, there absolutely should be.

Brian, National requirements that I know of is Brakes.

My wife drives the car inches from my small refrigerator and I can't open the door.

Hang a golf ball on a string from the ceiling so it hits the hood when driving in, so that way they won't hit the Beer Cooler.

No national requirements. Although local codes or jurisdictions may require it.

Question/Poll is somewhat vague. Only one I can think of is a pylon/pillar type device to protect mechanical equipment in the garage. Furnace/Water heater

Maybe...Does anyone have a copy of the 1984 BOCA codes? What does 608.1 say? I have been led to believe that section did address this topic. That code has since been superseded by ICC codes that do not have the step-down requirement but if a home had been built under BOCA during that time frame then the answer might be yes.

I suppose the question would have to be read "Were there any national requirements" for the answer to be yes though.

I just watch for my tool box along the wall to move after a few beverages, then I know I can put it in park!!! Works for me....
