Where I'm missing clarification is, how do I provide deck protection when I place the sprinkler head under the it?
It says in the first sentence of the code (903.3.1.2.1 Balconies and decks. "Sprinkler protection shall be provided for exterior balconies, decks and ground floor patios of dwelling units where the building is of Type V construction.) and then it explains how (Sidewall sprinklers that are used to protect such areas shall be permitted to be located such that their deflectors are within 1 inch (25 mm) to 6 inches (152 mm) below the structural members and a maximum distance of 14 inches (356 mm) below the deck of the exterior balconies and decks that are constructed of open wood joist construction."
