Not so. I think you might find it hard to find a boiler suitable for
installing outside. So any form of building that shields it from the
weather etc could do a lot of damage if it blew up.


Clearly youve not understood my question at all. Feel free to cease

Dave is answering the part of your question about installing a boiler
outside. It's common with oil boilers but I've never seen a gas boiler
designed to be installed outside. If it's not designed for it, the
installer is not installing according to the manufacturer's instructions
which would be a building control fail.

Externally fitted gas boilers are actually very common in some countries. I
saw lots in NZ.


In any kind of structure there's still the risk of gas buildup if improperly
installed.

Hardly beyond the wit of man to design a lightweight well ventilated
weather-proof enclosure that would avoid the build up of any gas if
required.
