Privacy Fence Importance Factor
(OP)
What do you guys think about using an Occupany Category of I for privacy walls. I am in a hurricane prone region. Difference of I=0.77 or 1.00.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Yes - .77 seems reasonable - no risk to live or limb!!

they dig the hole, cut open and pour in the dry sack mix, pour in some water, and mix the concrete with the fence post, then stake it off to set.

From a flying debris standpoint, I would just like fences to have enough concrete to keep them on the ground. I think anything stricter than that is just silly like others have said.
For overturning or bending failure of CMU privacy walls, I think I usually use I=1.0, though I agree with MiamiSerg that it doesn't usually make much difference. Though you could justify I=.77 from a loss of life standpoint as it is not an inhabitable structure.
