propane rack protection
hey guys, recently we had a vehicle jump the curb and collide with a propane bottle storage rack in front of a gas station. Anyone aware of any code requiring protective barriers or posts in front of the racks.? I noticed that our local Walmart and Dollar general both have posts protecting their racks. not sure if it is their company policy or they are following some building code.
Thanks
