What is the maximum height of the lower rail for guardrails on elevated structures for ages 5-12?

  1. 28"

  2. 29"

  3. 23"

  4. 38"

The correct answer is: 28"

The other options are incorrect because they either exceed the maximum height (29" and 38") or fall below the minimum height requirement (23"). The maximum height of the lower rail for guardrails on elevated structures for ages 5-12 is set at 28" for safety reasons. This height is determined to prevent young children from climbing or slipping through the railings, but also provides enough visibility for adults to supervise and assist if needed.
