What is the maximum height without barriers for elevated structures designed for ages 5-12?

  1. 48"

  2. 30"

  3. 20"

  4. 29"

The correct answer is: 48"

Elevated structures designed for ages 5-12 have a maximum height of 48" without barriers to ensure the safety of the children. This means that any height above 48" would require the installation of safety barriers to prevent falls. It should be noted that options B, C, and D are all below the maximum height, therefore not meeting the safety standards for this age group. Option B, which is the closest to the correct answer, only allows for a maximum height of 30" without barriers, which is significantly lower than the recommended 48". Options C and D are even lower and would not be considered safe for children in this age group.
