Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 17, 2007 9:35 am We are cooking with gas at our new place and we would like to get the property fenced (the side fences that go from a metre behind the start of the house to the boundary fence). We are going to keep the gas bottle around the 'unused' side of the house. Do we need to allow access to that side of the house, by way of a gate in the side fence due to the gas bottle? Or is it fine to have no access?
If we must have a gate, it certainly won't be keeping people out, so can you put a lock on it or does that defeat the purpose of having access to the gas bottle? What do you guys think?

That said - you could always give them a key if you wanted to lock it. Theirs is behind some shrubs and a wall - so you don't really see it. Re: Gas Bottle 4May 17, 2007 11:10 am well, I don't really want to lock my gas bottle, but I wanted to lock the side access gate. My partner was thinking that the fire department need access to the bottle, so we then have to make a gate...
Is this necessary? Re: Gas Bottle 5May 17, 2007 11:36 am oops - I meant a key to the gate!
I reckon just on the side of your house out of sight is sufficient.
