Re: new build in werribee

Damon they say measure twice cut once. Hearth should have been 1600 wide. Your comment that's tight I now get. Hearth will be 1600*1700.

Re: new build in werribee

Planter boxes both sides of the oven with grass trees and bonsai have already thought of. Hmmm I like your thinking with the arch though. Think I will break out my Japanese garden books out and check them for some ideas.

Thx Colin

Shad sail will need to curve around the oven, but I think it comes out to far. Will leave it until last.

[QUOTE=oasiscdm;137029]My intentions with the build are to 1metre Pompeii oven
Purchase oven materials from Melbourne Fire Brick Company. Ben has been of great help.

Once slab is constructed 1100*1400

I Will be building a Hebel block base frame
On top of that a cantilevered Hebel power fence panel (double reinforced) 1400*1600 hearth. With steel lintel and frame to support the cantilevered hearth.

So youwill have a 150mm cantilever on each side and a 200mm for the front?

If so I did this with just reo work inside the slab.

Yep that is spot on [150mm] I am hoping that at 125 mm thick and plenty of Reo that that will be enough to support every thing that will be on top of the slab. As you can see from the photos it needs to be above the deck. you will see more when i post the photo of the deck cut out removed.

Cheers and thanks

Gudday
Russel I "resemble" those remarks

Heres just an idea ......why not build a slab on piers through the deck instead of making a complete base. Your prepared to canterlever 150 mm why not consider going the full monty. Check out Neil2's build in the General construction section called canterlever flight deck

Thx for that Dave, I checked Neil2 build out. As much as i am very handy [as in every thing you see i have built] that is way way beyond me. Also i had cut the deck out before i read this, this afternoon.

Cheers Colin

PS ok just noticed your sign off. LOL

Re: new build in werribee

Haven't been able to do much as I have been waiting for a mate to complete this. So base now not far away. Hopefully the next two weeks should see slab done, once I get this set up in place. Then off to get hebel for base and hearth. Also been working on patio walls as photos show.

Re: new build in werribee

Did you check with your local council re a WFO installation. The last thing you would want is an angry neighbour complaining that your oven was not built to regulation and then force you to tear It down. I see that your space is tight and your neighbours must be close.

Re: new build in werribee

I saw your photos and I hope that you have very good relationship with your your neighbors, because when that smoke goes into those upstairs windows it might be hell to pay. Here in Japan, farmers think nothing of cutting grass around the fields and burning it and depending on how the winds blow, I've walked out of my studio to find my house filled with smoke. Had I been in America, I would have been tempted to shoot someone, but in Japan guns are not sold or allowed, knifing someone was too much work and messy, so a tongue lashing had to suffice.

Re: new build in werribee

Thanks guys!

As for the smoke I have no problem, they both have combustion heaters that force me to close windows everytime they are lit eg. every night through the colder months [and i like my windows open]. The oven will get lit maybe at worst once a week while the novelty is the driving force, more likely monthly after that.

Based on what i read here - fire it once and cook all weekend, if necessary i will get them to pass there pizzas over the fence and cook them while its on or pass them some bread or something LOL.

That should keep the wolves at bay.

Re: new build in werribee

Laurentius i'm curious you are in Japan. I am looking for some ideas in finishing the outdoor area - as my garden is japanese in style [see other photos]. If you look at those pictures i am putting Shoji screens above the fence either side of the partly completed wall you see [on right hand side].

I am not enclosing the oven as it will be an igloo. Thinking currently is to incorporate Stainless Steel facing on the arch entry [simplistic zen look].

Either side of the Oven will be planter boxes with Xanthorrea [australian plant] in each. front of right side of oven will be bench leading into BBQ [on right side wall back corner on left side of post].

That area is 3.8 mt wide and 8 mt long. Houses are at least 25 metres away.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers Colin

Re: new build in werribee

Hi Colin,

Check out these images, there are a few that has space somewhat like your. If you do use planter boxes go for something natural such as bamboo, shoji and folding panel are not normally found in or around the gardens, bamboo fence or bamboo supported trees are used. small Japanese garden - Google ????
