Jack, Earlier in the thread from Tony:
"The cooler is 30' long 4' wide and 7' high. It has glass doors and open metal shelves. So you grab the beer closest to you and the next one slides forward. When stocked full, there is hardly any empty space inside. You might see similar ones in stores that sell liqour. Does it have to be sprinklered?" I read this as thirty feet from side to side, four feet from front to back & seven feet from bottom to top. I don't see ten feet anywhere. This sounds like the standard front opening (multiple doors) dispensing coolers for liquid beverages as found in any convenience or grocery store and I don't think you need to sprinkler it.
