Propane cylinders shall not be used or stored on balconies because this creates a fire or explosion hazard. The Propane Storage and Handling Code CAN/CSA-B149.2-00, Section 5.7.1, states, “Each cylinder shall be set upon a firm level weatherproof base located on consolidated ground at grade level and shall be equipped with flexible connectors to offset any movement affecting the piping or tubing”. This section clearly prohibits the use or storage of tanks above grade level.
