I would also call the gas company to check if they have any requirements or specifications for the gas meters in your area.

  Thanks Laura, I have. As long as the screen isn't obstructed it is ok. Our meter was moved from the inside to the outside, right smack in front of my front door. Ugh.

  Ugh is right! When ours was moved (before we moved in) ours was also put in front of the house, but opposite the front door. If possible have you thought about a decrorative bush in front of it? We have one in front of ours.
