Brian,

I believe if you can apply the 70% open rule to mezzanines, the same would hold 
true for an obstruction in the vertical plane if it's 70% open.  You might look 
into that thinking.  

It's late in the day and my brain is a little fried so I may be way off in my 
thinking.

Mark-
The divider goes from floor to ceiling (open to structure). My first thoughts 
too were the hospital curtain theory even though that's for LH only. If heads 
were on both sides of this thing they would "cold solder"
each other if they ever went off.

How far down from the ceiling/ deck does the divider go?

Could be similar to the hospital curtain rule exception Sorry don't have a NFPA 
13 code book handy

I am working on a project that the owner wants to install a wire mesh divider. 
The screen is made out of 0.188" dia. wire in a 2" square pattern.
I'm saying heads are not required on both sides but I'm getting push back from 
the engineer reviewing the plans. What say ye?
