Location of LPG Bottles

[des.lavender]

We will be having an LPG hob installed and I figured that I'd better find out if I'm allowed to put a pair of cylinders in some sort of suitable 'cage' chained to my back wall of our ground floor extension. It would be at the corner of the house, horizontally near to a window but not a door nor a drain.

I've had a look but can't find anything specific, apart from being accessible, e.g. not behind locked gates. So what if I wanted to make it harder for DoAsYouLikies to make off with them?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Have you looked at the PDF's link at the bottom of this page http://www.calor.co.uk/help-and-adv...nders/gas-cylinder-safety/storing-gas-bottles

Hi jj, my PC was playing up yesterday and wouldn't open the pdfs. Had a look just now and it seems to be guidance rather than set in stone regulations, which is good, I guess. It's just that one of our builders had said you couldn't store them against the outside wall any more. Doesn't appear to be true. I'll still talk to Calor as I'm going to need a Gas Safe LPG registered installer to do the work.

Almost every house you go past with lpg bottles, have 2 up against the exterior of the house.
