Clearance *Behind* Open Large?

Bob V

Folks -

I'm thinking about making a table for a large Egg, and have looked over a lot of the great designs other folks have made. One dimension that doesn't seem to show, however, is the clearance needed to fully open the top on a large.

Here's the deal: I'm thinking of building the table up against the house. (Don't worry - concrete top so we won't have combustion problems.) Most tables are open behind the Egg, so there is no problem with clearance.

How much clearance is needed behind a large to be able to fully open the top without it hitting something?

Thanks - Bob V

10" at the bands would give you about 2" clearance with the top open.
