Section 424 Screener

The 2024 International Building Code brings a play structure into Section 424 on either of two thresholds, not both together. Enter the structure’s dimensions to see which threshold you cross, and which component fire criteria follow from crossing it.

The International Building Code is a model code. It binds where the jurisdiction has adopted it, and Section 424 has changed between editions, so confirm the adopted edition before a specification is issued. This screener reports the 2024 edition thresholds; it does not replace the building official’s review.
