So, trellis material is just extending out horizontally from the building to 
create a type of sun shade?

I’d look at it like an architectural feature that is not a roof, canopy or 
overhang.  Wherever the solid surface of the overhang ends, that’s it.  Is 
there any requirement to provide sprinklers under the overhang?

It’s a golf clubhouse with a radius projection. There are limited spots to hang 
if we have to protect this space. It’s just a big cluster bomb.

8.15.14 doesn’t apply to this application.  That section is for grated 
“ceilings” installed below sprinklers.

Trellis construction being open is similar to a pergola where there is no 
ceiling/roof.

Being open, you can’t trap heat or smoke as long as they don’t plan to let 
plants grow on the trellis work to create a “green roof/ceiling”.

Is this for public seating?  If it is, there may be local requirements for 
overhead materials if they are combustible.

Then I don’t think the section sited below is the correct application. I’m 
honestly not sure where that is quantified. We usually are successful making 
the argument that it won’t trap heat, but I can’t think of where that’s 
actually spelled out in the code.  I’m interested in the responses to this one.

Would it not otherwise meet the criteria for omitting sprinklers under an 
exterior projection?

Travis,

Are you talking about an exterior trellis? Something that would not have 
sprinklers above, just open to the sky above?

I have a project where the architect is asking what is the % opening required 
in a trellis type structure so that sprinklers are not required.  70% open is 
coming to mind, but I can’t find a section referencing anything like that.  Can 
anyone help point me in the right direction?
