What am I missing here? The question is whether 13D (that's "Thirteen Dee") requires sprinklers in porches and we've got a thread that's turning toward the IBC. If the dwelling(s) in question are being built per the IBC then I don't think 13D would be the correct standard in the first place.

Also look at it from the potential to flash-over. The screen will not hold in the heat. Now have that discussion with the AHJ.

Does screening count as an enclosure?
