-
20mm – Sheeting martial should protrude continuously under ant capping and external sheeting material.
-
25mm – minimum separation of decks, pergolas, carports from the main structure.
-
35mm – Minimum visual inspection zone can be relaxed if sheeting material has been installed (depends on individual manufacturer’s instructions).
-
75mm – Visual inspection zone from ground to the top edge of the footing or structural timbers.
-
400mm – separation from the lowest point of structural timber (Subfloor bearer) to ground.
