that the design requirements are the same. BS codes have that effect

I was !! I had wild plans for a shallow pond with a waterfall type
affair on my roof garden, but luckily found the architect who build
our house and he told me that the roof could carry 150Kg per square
meter. My water feature would have been double that............. So
now I have heavy pots situated over the weightbearing walls below and
around the edges...........:~)


and being in NL, the whole lot is slowly sinking into the ground?
