I have gas bottles for my BBQ. Can anyone help with suggestions where I can buy an outside storage box as I do not want to keep them in the underbuild for safety reasons. Thanks.

An aluminium fabrication company should be able to make one for you.

Much appreciated. My only concern about putting them in a cupboard outdoors is will they be affected by the build up of heat ? But I notice they are stored outside the Gama in Dona Pepe so I guess it is safe. Any comments will be appreciated. Cheers.

they store the gas bottles in a cage, so the heat should not be a problem, however if you are getting a metal storage unit built, why not ask them to install air vents on all sides to allow for airflow and to help keep the temperature down.

Here's a couple of photos of my storage cupboard:

I don't know where it was made or how much it cost I'm afraid, it was all included in some other works.
This is located on the east side of the house, in an area that gets almost no direct sun. As someone else said, you could have vents installed if you were worried about the build-up of heat.
