These are the bars at the entrance of parking garages to alert a drivers that their vehicles are too tall for the garage. David G.

Unfortunately, MasterSpec has neither of those sections. David G. Axt, CCS, CSI, SCIP Specifications Consultant Axt Consulting LLC David J.

We use: 11 12 13 - Parking Control Equipment for the electronic payment and access control equipment, which may be complex and often from a single vendor. 11 12 26 - Parking Control Accessories for items like your low clearance warning bar (headache bar), wheel stops and similar items.

If it is pvc or glass fiber composite, put it in division 06. If there is a label adhered to it, put it with signage.

It includes things like clearance bars, wheel stops, etc. My opinion is that these items don't belong in Div 11.
