If a canopy is built over an outdoor Class A liquid storage tank with a capacity of 50 cubic meters, does that make it a warehouse? ? Does it belong to a building? ?

It’s a bit confusing; logically, some Class A tanks that have shelters to provide shade from the sun should still be considered part of the tank area. However, in inspections, those with roofs have been classified as buildings.

Sir, are all of these classified as buildings? If it’s a warehouse, then things like fire separation distances change – how should that be handled? Or how can it be avoided?

It’s not a building; it’s a structure. :lol

According to Article 4.2.6 of the building codes, it should be called a semi-open storage area for Class A liquids... The interpretation of this provision is that it refers to a shed with a roof but no walls. I’m not sure if this understanding is correct
