What section number have you assigned to tensioned cable wire rails used as car/pedestrian railings at the perimeter edges of a parking garage and at the interior ramp locations between levels?

My first thought was to create a section number 'under' 05 15 00 Wire Rope Assemblies, like 05 15 15 and call it "Barrier Cable Railing" (keeping the word, "Barrier" to differentiate it from simple pedestrian-style guardrails).

For those of you that have already specified this, what did you do? Others: what *would* you do?

Current MasterSpec Section 055000 includes zinc-coated wire rope parking garage guards, so I would specify them here rather than in a separate section.

i struggled with what to do with this for quite some time. i finally settled on Div 10 as the appropriate place and call my new office master section 10 8516 - Vehicle Cable Barriers

I also recently specified this in 05 50 00.
