Fall protection on height changes (partially over 1.00 m)

Yes, this was just to get a feel for how things look. I will probably submit the request in writing and then specify it more concretely. But I think it will come down to the fact that everywhere with a fall height over 100cm, a fence must be installed... as already suspected. The rest is then my concern... if legal requirements are met, there is actually no reason for the insurance to refuse liability. Or does anyone see it differently?

It’s also not just about bearing the costs for me. As I already indicated, most co-owners here are difficult people. I can only shake my head at everything that has already been rejected here (not only by me, but also by others). Normally, you would think that no one would object if I erect a fence at my own expense... but here I’m far from sure about that. I can imagine that half don’t want it for aesthetic reasons, and then the discussions will start... one wants metal, another wood, the next plastic. And then down to the very last detail about how it should be executed, etc. Therefore, I’m trying to find out if I could possibly even derive an obligation for the owners’ association to erect the fence. Because then I would get rid of the biggest problem, namely not having to depend on the goodwill of others.

For the fence, I used these anchors

4 pieces per foot, then blow out, very important, hit the bundle once hard with the hammer and tighten with a ratchet.

In the L stones behind the house, I also used the brackets from you, but be careful when drilling, one broke out at the back for me.

I installed about 50 meters of fence from mycamas, great price around 1400 euros with posts, 2 gates, brackets, and screws, quality better than Bauhaus and co.

Thank you for the source, I have to check it out. So far, I only did a rough estimate at Hornbach and came to about 1600€ without gate and screws for just 35m.

Therefore, I am trying to find out how I could possibly even derive an obligation for the homeowners' association to install a fence.

Hello Effe2020

Phew, a very long thread.
I do think that you can hold the owners responsible. However, this might backfire. Any place that is at least 100cm high could be equipped with a picket fence. Suddenly, the ARSC card is with you.
And the insurance will not give you a clear answer. If someone falls and suffers damage, there will be disputes. Was it at the spot with 100cm or rather at the one with 99cm?
Make it clear to the owners' meeting that you will erect the fence at your own expense according to your taste and that it is necessary also because of possible liability. That should get the cow off the ice.
