Keeping Kids Off
Keeping Kids Off
(OP)
I am designing approx. 5000 feet of above-ground utilidor (3' wide x 1.5' tall out of 1/8" aluminum with 4" of board foam insulation) and one of the concerns is to keep kids from playing on it. The utilidor is anywhere from 0-5 feet above the ground. My first thought was to fabricate a sloped/angled lid, making it impossible to walk on. This weakens the "box beam" design of the utilidor and wastes materials. I am looking for creative solutions to keep kids from turning the utilidor into an elevated walkway.

Another thought, talk to a landscape architect. They deal with these types of things.

I'm guessing that would add a lot to the cost for supports and such.

We had large diameter pipes (made of wood) that housed components, and it was nearly impossible to climb on top; yet it was large enough to get inside when needed.
