Dear Forum Members, We are working on a retrofit for a church. The building is entirely wood construction, built with large glu-lams and 14" composite trusses (parallel to the glu-lams). We are protecting a small cold space above a balcony. The roof pitch is 12 in 12, and the cold space dies into a full height wall. So the space is a right triangle (with the slope being the hypotenuse), instead of a typical attic and a typical peak. 8.6.4.1.4.2 (07) says I have to have a head within 12" of the bottom of the top chord (TJI). First, does this rule still apply when I don't have a two slopes to protect? Secondly, if this rules does apply, I'd have to add a second line (in a very small space) and I couldn't maintain 6 feet between heads, while still being more than 5 feet from the eave? Please help.
