As well as access for filling or routine maintenance you need to make sure
there is ample access for the fire brigade in case of an emrgency. The
company are probably quite within their rights to request changes.


There are regulations which apply to all installations regarding
clearances and I think the 80cm quoted for one trellis will be less than
the minimum. For further info go to www.lpga.co.uk. (LP Gas Association)

Thanks, that's very useful. They do not mention minimum distances and seem
to consider grass and rubbish around the tank the main issue. As I said, I
don' consider living plant material especially flammable.


If you still have no luck come back and I will get in touch with someone
who knows about these things - he installs tanks for many of these
suppliers.


I think that access may actually be the key issue: as someone pointed out,
going through what we consider the access point involves bringing the hose
in a circle once through the gate. I think my best bet is to try and speak
to the delivery men directly as someone else mentioned.

Thanks
