I understand that I have 16.5 feet of storage, and they have to design to that.

BUT!!!

What about the shelves that only go to 12 feet??? would that help them in 13 covers up to 15 feet of shelves??? do not have 13 in front of me, and will have to research it a little more.

CD,

IF they can limit the storage height to 15' then yes it works. BUT how will they do this?? Unless you visit on a regular bases to enforce the height, the second they get a shipment in and need to put it somewhere it will go to the 16.5". Just bounce the plans and let them worry about it.
