Fire Resistant Block

[Field_of_Dreams]

Hi all,

 

Just looking at some building regs and it mentions the need for an oil tank that is within a certain distance from a building or boundary needs to have a "Fire Wall" between the tank and the boundary/building. It needs to have at least 30 minutes resistance.

 

So... is this a special block or do they all tend to last that long or longer?

I am not fussed what it looks like as I will eventually grow some plants up it ?

 

Any insight appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks.

Good to know I don't need anything fancy.
