I have a situation where I have an exterior stud wall that is covered with rock veneer. The wall has a low parapet, just a couple of feet above the roof, where the veneer will also be located on the interior face of the parapet. I can’t find anything in the IBC that would tell me I can’t support the small height of rock veneer, on the interior of the parapet, by a ledger of some sort, which will be attached to the stud wall. 2304.12 tells me that I have to check the wood members for long term deflection. Is there any restrictions that I haven’t found?
Thanks,
Joe Grill
