What's the question? If there are no walls extending to the ceiling/roof wouldn't you just install the sprinklers at the underside of the deck? Use OH1 criteria over the spaces and 15 ft beyond the low walls. Is this a big open are or are there other walls or ??????????? More info would be helpful.

The architect was vague so the GC is not putting in ceilings nor is he running the walls up to the deck. I have been reading and rereading chapter 8 of 13 -2010 edition, and I cannot conclusively determine what we are required to do in this case. The description in 8.15.22.1 is not exactly correct so I can't see clearly... Does anybody have a cut and dry answer?
