    Hi all, I have an Ideal Classic FF350 boiler which has been in the house since 2003. It vents out into the side of the house. My problem is I am thinking of getting the side passageway covered in with Multiwall polycarbonate on a timber structure but the height of the vent is only 1950mm from the ground. Is it possible to get a 90 degree extension pipe to attach to it so that I can still cover the space but have the 90 degree pipe come through the polycarbonate roofing? (Hope this makes sense!)

    Really?, b$gger! If I leave both ends open (above the gates and beneath the roof) would this give adequate ventilation or will the gases get trapped inside?

    I think you need somebody gas registered. Its not worth taking the risk with carbon monoxide.
    Im usually the type to tell people to give a job a bash but not here.

    No , you risk recycling of the products of combustion etc. Flue has to be able to vent unobstructed to atmosphere. For the record , I am a registered gas installer .
