In Kansas we call it a 'carport', or if it is only open on the front,
a 'lean-to'.
I will admit though, ~2000 s.f. of this is kind of scary.
Good thing you excluded it John (hopefully you had it figured but it
was just the dif between 20 and 25% profit.

In western Washington we call it a rain shelter.
Best.

It dosent say those things because it's outside the building Steve.
It's a shade structure, like you meant. Sprinklers would just make
a big mess. Open on three sides and non-comb means no life safety
issue and if that's where it starts it won't get inside before the
FD gets there. These 12-17 year old Boys and Girls probably started
it, thinking some Smores sounded good.

Y'all need to read the definition of "Building" in the Building Code:
"Any structure used or intended for supporting or sheltering any
use or occupancy."
It doesn't mention walls or doors, it doesn't mention construction
type or combustibility of materials. So the area in question IS a
building. That by John's description is ATTACHED to another
(sprinklered) building and is used for occupancy by children where
there is a measurable fire load (whether or not it is a profound
fire load, there is one).
So once again, from the top: NFPA 13 doesn't exclude this area
because it's occupied and has or potentially has combustibles
below it. The building code defines it as a building. Why don't
we have to sprinkler it?

I vote no sprinklers required -- open and noncombustible- the
rockinghorse on a spring is like a newspaper machine - there will
always be just one of them- not one today and twelve tomorrow.

Assuming there’s play equipment there (fire load) and knowing that
there are kids occupying the space, I wouldn’t call this an
“exterior projection”. It’s a shad structure with occupancy below
and IMO requires sprinkler protection.
