A question has come up that in Table 17.2.3.1 the column that states Maximum Ceiling/Roof Height applies to the maximum Ceiling/Roof height of the building, not the storage area. As an example, if a warehouse has cartoned expanded plastics storage to 25' high in a portion of the warehouse that has a roof/ceiling height of under 32', but the ridge height of the building is 33'-0, they are suggesting that the cartoned expanded plastic cannot be stored in the building because the ridge height (not the area of storage) is above 32'. There reasoning is that the table applies to the entire building, not the area of storage. Therefore if the highest point of the building exceeds the list table height, even though the storage area roof height is under the table height, the table cannot apply. Is this a correct assumption or is the maximum height meant to apply to the area of storage?
