You must ensure that:- The top rail is 42" tall from the walking surface.
- The middle rail is half way between the top rail and the walking surface.
- The rail is able to withstand a 200 lb. force in a downward or outward direction.
* It is important to note that you should always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Here are a few questions for you to consider:- How often are people accessing your roof?
