Would there be a cost savings to add a ceiling vs in-racks and the potential 
damage incurred from fork lifts hitting the in-rack sprinkler/piping?

ESFR is not the end all, be all of storage protection.  It is not appropriate 
for a building like that.  In that case, you need to find an SSU / in-rack 
system or other storage sprinkler that will work.  But, ESFR is a no go.

What do you do when you have ESFR in a structure with W-Beams that are less 
than 8' apart but too deep to get the proper deflector distance beneath them?

Subject: ESFR and Baffles

Posting to help a friend.

I've always been taught that ESFR is 8' minimum. You are not permitted to use 
baffles or anything to reduce the minimum distance between ESFR sprinklers. 
There is a respected FPE challenging this statement and trying to use baffles 
to allow ESFR to be less than 8'.  My friend asked my opinion, but I wanted to 
see if others had any thoughts on this.
