Any enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least
one permanent opening at ground level, and no
overhead cover.
A common example is an enclosed back yard.
Typically, the walls are less than 3m high. If they
are higher, there is a danger of gas build up.
Within a partial enclosure that
includes an overhead cover
and no more than two walls.
A common example is an
outdoor gazebo.
The barbecue may be within a partial enclosure
that includes an overhead cover and more than
two walls, the following shall apply:
At least 25% of the total wall area is
completely open; and
at least 30% of the remaining wall area is
open and unrestricted.
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the
total of the side, back and front wall areas shall
be and remain open and unrestricted.

Partial Enclosures (Australia Only)
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground, open air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection. Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
Locating Your Barbecue
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is positioned safely away from
anything that can catch fire.
Indoor Use Only: Under no circumstances is this barbecue to be used indoors. This includes garages or any
other enclosed area.
Clearance From Combustibles: Ensure your barbecue remains at a distance of at least 45 cm (18”) from any
combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline
or flammable liquids or vapours within 45 cm (18”) of the barbecue.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the barbecue and cylinder. This is required
not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up.
Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This barbecue is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed on a boat or any marine craft.
Protection From Weather: Keep the barbecue protected from adverse weather, including rain and high winds.
Polyvinyl covers are available that have been specially designed for this range of barbecues.
Allow clear access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.
Maintenance Access: When your barbecue is installed, you should be able to access the gas supply line
including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shut off valves.
Partial Enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and pergolas. In
some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as indoor areas,
particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. The gas safety authorities have agreed on the
definition of partial enclosures below.
