And a height at which it would be tempting to store tables below it, etc. so protection would be reqd- although leaving 18" clear above the spkrs would be difficult to enforce past the design phase.
Also, if the church is using real alcohol vrs grape juice, the prev #13 reference asks if flammable liquids are handled above the platform or deck. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Johnston Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Church platform I have done a couple of these both were under 30" off the floor, both had access panels, and both had lots of wiring under them. I didn't consider using 8.15.6, due to the wiring and access panels. Jim Johnston, P.E.

If it met all of the requirements I would think you could exclude heads under the platform. Don't forget to apply the 3000 sf remote area if you elect to not sprinkler that area.
