Used for storage I'd protect it just like a garage. Use anti-freeze in at
least that portion of the system, with and anti-freeze loop to the two
heads, or even one head if you have enough pressure, and change the riser
backflow to an RPZ type.

We have a 13d building on pilings with a 20x12 storage area underneath
that
is enclosed by lattice.
Do you think the lattice is substantial enough of an enclosure to require
additional protection?
As always in North Florida, the big deal is not a couple of sprinklers,
but
rather how to freeze protect 2 sprinklers and piping without a large
expense
to the owner.
Dry Sprinklers may not be feasible due to the fact that the piping feeding
them would be only protected with plywood and vinyl and I am uncertain
that
there is sufficient radiant heat to protect it from freezing.
