We have a project that is a Mini Self Storage and on one of the floors they 
have what is called a sky locker. It sits on top of one of the lower lockers 
and obstructs the spray pattern from the roof system. These lockers are 5'-0" 
deep and range from 5'-0" to 10'-0" wide, none of the lockers have ceilings on 
them, chicken wire only. Most of the lower lockers are larger then the sky 
lockers so it looks like a small box sitting on a bigger box.

The question I am asking is do we include the sprinkler heads under the sky 
locking in our calculation or is it treated as an obstruction as notes in NFPA 
#13 (2013) section 23.4.4.6.3.1 and you just pipe size it the same as the roof 
system but don't have to include in the calculation.

Or is there something else I have not seen?

Thank You
