Hi guys, this is a new one on me! I have been scouring but cant find a definitive answer that will allow it to be done at all.
I need to install a stove in a timber construction summerhouse. The floor is timber with concrete slab under & i know this timber must be cut out & constuctional hearth built up to regs. The roof is pitched tongue & groove (vaulted celing) with green mineral felt covering plus a later added metal roof on top. The main problem i have is obvoiusly distance from flue to combustible materials! I believe this needs to be 500mm. Any suggestions for going through the roof boards, bearing in mind the distance from the ridge beam to purlin is 760mm and from purlin to top of wall is 990mm.
