Hi there, I'm new to this forum and hope someone can give me a bit of
advice.

My gas meter is fixed to my external house wall but within a lean-to
garage. It is not recessed into the wall, it is mounted on a steel
plate fixed directly to the brickwork at a height of 1800mm. The
incoming gas pipe comes vertically from the floor to the same height as
the top of the meter but 200mm to the right of it and connects into the
top of the meter with a 'bendy' metal pipe. The cut-off lever is at the
top of the rigid vertical pipe. The outgoing pipe comes from the top of
the meter and bends left after about 600mm then runs along the garage
wall and into the kitchen wall further along.

Your best option would probably be to engage your joinery skills and
make a wooden weatherproof box yourself. Fiddling about trying to fit
a standard surface monut meter box would be too much trouble as the
connections arent right and they would need alteration which means
