Hi,
We're planning on having an lpg range cooker installed and I'm looking at where they can locate the gas cylinders (2x47kg).
The only place I can see (without them being sited a good distance away from the kitchen wall and requiring the removal of the wife's favourite hydrangea) is against a wooden fence.
It's sturdy and consists of 5" round posts with five 4" rails in-between.
This location would comply with the required distance from windows, drains etc.
Would this be considered a rigid structure however as noted in the info below (from this forum dated 2010)?
Many thanks for your thoughts.

"LPG Propane cylinders must be located outside of the building in the open air and on a firm base, in a well ventilated area. The must be accessible at all times and unobstructed (not locked behind gates). You will requi1 metre horizontal clearance to any door or air vent or flue terminal and 300mm verticle clearance to any window, or fixed source of ignition. Cylinders must not be located within 2 metres of an untrapped drain. Cylinders should be located against a ridgid structure. If against the building, then this should have a minimum 30 minutes fire resistance. You can fit a non combustible hood over the top of the cylinders, providing it does not obstruct your valves and changeover. "
