How to secure free standing flue on flat roof

    Hi

    I want to get a free standing stove for our kitchen/living room extention. There is no chimney and the room is single storey with a flat roof. The stove will be placed on the side wall approx 2 metres from the original house exerior wall.

    I have gone to two companies for quotes and they have given me two ways to deal with the exterior flue.

    Option one, flue must be secured to second floor exterior wall of house. This will result in the flue coming out of flat roof, then a bend, over to house wall, another bend and flue up to roof level. But flue secured to exterior of house at 2nd floor level

    Option two. Flue comes out of flat roof to a height of 1.5 metres. This flue is not secured to anything .

    My main worry is that with option two the flue will sway with high winds and possibly cause damage

    My worry with option two is the two bends in the flue which I have been told is not good for "draw"
    Any advise would be great as this all is double dutch to me

    Tks
