Rank: Guest		Posted By PeterL Hi Ali, As far as I can remember the A.C.O.P. states that the internal boards have to be "as close as possible" to the building structure and where the gap then has to be wider than this to accommodate works (i.e. top hat and cladding) then internal rails, toe board etc should be installed, to remove any associated risks. Cheers Pete
