Keeping the area around your cylinders safe

• Place gas bottles against a wall or structure with at least 30 minutes of fire resistance.
• Install them on firm, level ground in a well-ventilated spot where they’re protected from damage and always easy to access.
• Keep at least 1 metre of space between the bottles and any ignition sources, unprotected electrics, heat sources, doors, vents, or windows.
• Maintain at least 2 metres from drains, gullies, or cellar openings.
• Ensure the surrounding area is free from litter, vegetation, or anything flammable.
• Do not place bottles within 3 metres of corrosive, toxic, or oxidising substances.
