I am working on a building that has two 22 ft wide x 10 ft deep exterior
canopies. The construction is fire retardant fabric over an aluminum frame.
There is no storage underneath. NFPA 13 section 8.15.2.7 reference omitting
sprinklers where fire retardant wood is present, but mentions nothing about any
other fire retardant materials. The Handbook commentary for that section
mentions the general term “fire retardant materials”. The obvious question is
sprinklers or not?
