 That's what we're just getting through this one easily I'll quickly get into the next one, which is what setback do I need for the open carport concession? This is a recent inquiry. I see some laughter already Fantastic laugh in my jokes, please because we're on video today What setback do I need to the open carport concession? Inquire one and some clarification over three seven one six in volume two Um, it's specifically about the open carport concession Three seven one six contains requirements which inhibit spread of fire from one class one building to the other We don't care about the class 10 that can burn. That's fine We're just stopping the fire spread for one class one to the other and that is directly Directly from performance requirement P 2.3.1 So the class today built in class one It's caused the the house or the boarding house and the class 10a could be the shed could be a deck could be the carport And that's why we have provisions deem to satisfy provisions in three point seven Point one and these refer to tables such as three seven one six figure three seven one six where we achieve This performance requirement by stopping the fire getting from one class one to another by having physical separation between the two as in the top example there or Installing walls which have an FRL which prevent the fire spread from getting from one class one to the other via the 10a when we use separation The required setback is either 900 millimeters from a boundary or 1.8 meters from another building when that's on the same allotment So of course the 900 from the boundary I do that on my side and then my neighbor does the 900 on his side We get the full 1.8 That's how we how we do it and this is all in accordance with three seven one four measurement of Distances which is found right at the front three point seven point one And it sets out how distances in this part of the code are measured and All these distances note are taken from the external wall of the building From external wall the building to the boundary or the next building So for these class 10a is in this diagram here The measurement is taken from the wall. Let's call them garages the less measurement is taken from the wall of the garage Not the not the eve not the gutter but taken from the wall in accordance with three point seven point one point four right here at the start of three seven one Now carports they present a lower fire hazard than garages and other class 10a buildings So we get this concession in three seven one six and we may have heard this called the open carport concession Under this concession you have to have at least two sides open and at least one third of the perimeter as open That is the most boring ring tone that I've heard on the high issue You could have us you can have a song you can have all sorts of things. I've got a lovely song when my wife rings me Just ring ring ring. That's look look it up Sorry, sorry, thank you We have to have at least two sides open at least one third the perimeter open and to be open you can't have a wall and Also, there's some cover. There's some things about the roof covering the roof covering Besides what it's made out of has to be at least 500 millimeters from another building or the allotment boundary This is all in accordance with three seven one six D now this 500 millimeters What it does it gives a chance for smoke and heat to escape through the roof So that the you got one class one another class one you come to the ten got this 500 millimeters the spoken heat escapes rather than getting condensed and then Causing the adjacent class one to catch a light So let's say is this why you laughed before so it's just how badly drawn it is Just good Okay, I'll come well. I'm glad you've come today. Thank you for coming The carport this carports open on two sides the far sides of wall probably the house So that's not open the front has the garage door. So it's not open. However, the rear is open There's nothing constructed there and the side here as long as we're 900 millimeters away. Oh, sorry We're 500 millimeters for the open carport concession if it is an open carport, but yes It is because we're less we also meet the third rule This side so long as the boundaries far away or an adjacent building is far away is also open Now note how these are measured This is all the cons with three seven one six D Unlike those measurements that we're used to using you go for all three three seven one six and use the rule set out in three seven one four We measure from the external wall. This diagram shows us how it's done. It's straight from volume two It's measured from the roof covering to the closest part of the adjacent building so For the class one to the house, it's actually measured from the gutter in this case Not the wall because we're not applying three point seven point one point four We're applying three seven one six D which sets out that it's the five hundred millimeters Distance from the closest part of the adjacent building or from the boundary, of course on the right Another important thing to note when applying the open carport concession is that it doesn't double up We're used to my house neighbor's house. I've got my 900. He's got his 900 We've got our one point eight and when you put the buildings on the same allotment. We double up and get that one point eight The the open carport concession doesn't double up. Let's call them garages on the left-hand side there We've got our one point eight meters wall-to-wall in accordance with three seven one four the measurement of distance on the right We have two open carports The five hundred millimeters doesn't double up when I operate what I consider this carport I just simply have to have the closest part of the roof or the closest part of the adjacent building not less than five hundred millimeters away Tick when I consider this carport I have to be sure that the adjacent one is not less than five hundred millimeters away all in accordance with three seven one six D Tick so the five hundred millimeters doesn't double up Important to note and it all comes down to getting a head out of the three seven one four and applying the wave right applying in three seven one
