Sorry I'm trying to see if I can get it inside instead of burying line to a shed? Small house though 1100sq ft. Basement would be fun trying to lower a thousand pounds into.
Don't know about your installation, but any time I've been involved with reducing clearances I have mounted the fireproof metal or cement board on fireproof standoffs so the air can circulate from the floor level, up behind the barrier, then escape into the room at the top.
