Breakaway walls are not a requirement on open foundations. A garage floor/slab below the BFE can remain open, be enclosed by insect screening or lattice work, or enclosed by breakaway walls. Also, since breakaway walls are not structural, the living area above the garage will have to be supported by structural piles/piers/columns. - [If the DFE is, for example, 8-feet within the garage/ enclosure area, can there be solid walls above the DFE? And can service utilities, machinery and equipment be installed above the DFE on the solid walls?](https://maliburebuilds.org/faq-items/if-the-dfe-is-for-example-8-feet-within-the-garage-enclosure-area-can-there-be-solid-walls-above-the-dfe-and-can-service-utilities-machinery-and-equipment-be-installed-above-the-dfe-on-the-solid/) - No. In Coastal areas, DFE is the bottom of lowest horizontal structural member, therefore there should be no “solid walls” between that and the top of the breakaway wall. - [Can service utilities, machinery and equipment be physically attached to a breakaway wall inside the garage/ enclosure area?](https://maliburebuilds.org/faq-items/1-can-service-utilities-machinery-and-equipment-be-physically-attached-to-a-breakaway-wall-inside-the-garage-enclosure-area/) - No. Utilities, including electrical wiring, switches, outlets, breaker boxes, power meters, plumbing, conduits, and ventilation ducts, are not to be placed in or attached to breakaway wall panels.
