Hi All,
I posted this over in my Build Post, but it might be better done here.
Anyway, this is the story:
Council has requested that I remove the Corner Bi-Folds as I cannot provide a screen to the Bi-Folds to satisfy the AS3959 requirements for building in a bushfire prone area... I can understand the reasoning, but also cannot believe that there are NO screens that I could install... I am sure there are screens, but the corner seems to be the biggest issue, ie not having a post to lock the screen onto.
If anyone knows of any screen companies I can talk to about this, please let me know. I need to let the builder know on Monday as to what I am doing. Not their requirement, but mine.
The builders suppliers do not do screens...
Council have said that this is the only thing holding up the application. Also only have 30 days to respond to Council.
My other alternatives are to install a corner stacker, but still have the same situation with the screens, as apparently all the screen companies I have spoken to, need something to lock the screen onto, like the Bi-Folds. I was hoping that I might be able to use a removable type post, that could then be removed if necessary to open up the house. Haven't had much luck with that either.
The other alternative is that I put in a post on the corner, and just have two regular bi-fold type doors. Kinda defeats the purpose though, so would probably end up dropping the bi-folds altogether and just go with stackers, or something.
Anyway, not happy, but if anyone can think of anything I could try, or have come up against something similar, and how they solved it would be appreciated.
Cheers
