distance to building

I am installing curb stones on diagonally striped spaces and need to know what would be standard distance away from the building to install them to keep the cars from hitting the wall. I figured 4ft was about right but just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with such! Thanks, Tiny

I typically do 36". But different circumstances can dictate different requirements, the more the better. Just be sure that the vehicles aren't hanging out in the right of way. If necessary pull a truck in and check for clearance. Also keep in mind those folks, that prefer to back into parking spaces.

On 60 degree parking, I put them so that there is a minimum of 30" between the closest corner of the bumper and the building. This will protect the building in almost all cases. Of course, some guy in a pickup could back in and still hit, but that's unlikely.

Thanks guys!!

30" from curb to bumper. This will make the front of the bumper 36" from the curb.

besure and check to see if pedestreion trafic is not required to use that space. Handycaped access? remenmber they can not be required to go into any areas with trafic. Otherwise 30" sounds about right like have posted.

At my local storage unit the gravel lot for parking RVs had been marked with Large nails (or spikes) that were wrapped with stiff nylon strings at the top. Once driven into the ground the nylon strings stood up like feathers, effectively marking out the stall dimensions.

We go to our local fire dpt. and they give us there old hose that they cant use.As long as you are not using it for fighting firers they said it was OK.
