I was in fact aware that bushfires burn from the outside. However, the manufacturer of this particular product has designed the panels to be fitted to the inside of the building. I acknowledge a certain irony in that given its claim of fire protection, but in fairness, it would be difficult to make a shed airtight; particularly when using steel sheets. There are gaps on the outside, but the interior can be constructed so that there are no gaps.
if the fire is hot enough it will melt/warp the outside cladding and then the insides will go up as well.

Actually, I wasn’t aware any codes relating to fire would have applied to a shed. So that’s an interesting point you make. Presumably, you are saying that if I build a tin shed the Council doesn’t care, but if I want to line it then it has to meet certain codes. I guess if I don’t tell them they won’t know.
different councils, different regs.
