2018 IRC New house by a lake. Plans indicates a boat storage room in a walk out basement. Does not say if they are motorized or not. Would this be considered a garage? If I ask Wikipedia if a boat is a vehicle, it says it's a vehicle that travels on water. IRC does not say anything about vehicles, only garages. No definition of garage in the IRC. Makes me think that they could keep a car in a home without the required protected walls if they do not call it a garage. But I found other definitions elsewhere that say a garage is for storing vehicles.
Would this boat storage room be considered a garage and need protected walls and ceiling?
