No problems, I have quite some distance from neighbours boundaries, but rather it's the setting that constricts space... I like the bush look and need access to the garden shed.

Yes this forum is a great knowledge resource, many original ideas. I will be asking for input on the best ways to do my build.

Thanks, I will check out the builds.

First off I have decided on castable over bricks because of time and the requirement, you do need a brick saw access for a long time to do it properly. My hat go's off to people who can do this. I think brick ovens are the best but a lot of work.

I have worked in the building industry but not for close to 20 years. The skills do stick though and I have good knowledge on (some) materials and how they work.

The photos show current progress. A mud map, shows the base design. Just an outline, I am tweaking the design as I go.

The top will be 1800x1200x75 (~6x4x 3") it will consist of 2 hebel PowerFloor (aerated concrete) boards 600 (2 foot) wide. And third board cut to fit between the blocks supported by steel, and internal H shape block walls.

Under the oven I will have 50mm brick slabs, 50mm cs board, and 150mm aerated concrete.

I did not use dry stacked blocks, I don't mind laying a few blocks as it gives you a lot of control and easy to level up.

Post some pics. Are you aware that you could be in trouble if you build closer than 1.5 m from a boundary fence should you have neighbour issues?

I have been scouring the forum for how to information on building an oven over the last few weeks. Now I have worked out how I am going to to it.

This last weekend I started construction. The dream to make a wood fired oven has been simmering for a few years, now its time to make the dream a reality.

The space I have is not large. I and need access to get past the the rear of the oven to get to the garden shed etc. Access to the oven will be from a large paved entertainment area.
