Gargoyle Rooftop Guardrail | Agile Series
The Gargoyle Rooftop Guardrail, Agile Series is a unique, easy to install rooftop guardrail system. This rooftop fall protection system is designed with pre-fabricated rail sections which can be installed and dismantled quickly for temporary applications, without sacrificing quality, durability and most importantly safety.
This unique system gives you the ability to design your own rooftop guardrail solution, allowing you to determine how much linear coverage you need, from 8 feet to over a 100 feet.
Note: This system is sold by the rail length.

The top edge height may exceed 45 inches (114 cm), provided the guardrail system meets all other criteria of paragraph (b) of this section.
