If it is impossible to comply with these requirements, then a fire protection barrier with at least 30 minutes fire rating should be provided. A minimum separation distance of 100mm is required between the tank and fire rated barrier unless a larger distance is specified by the tank manufacturer.
Â
What that means is for one the 300mm wider than the tank base is there to prevent fire (grass catching alight) from reaching the base of the tank.
And you can build a fire wall of 4inch (100mm) concrete block along the edge of the base as a fire barrier so you can put the tank nearer the fence(leave enough room for maintainance.)
Â
If you go to the worcester bosh site and download a boiler install manuall (any one) it will show with piccys how to install the tank as well as boiler.
