Safety for patios and decks

A fire feature should be beautiful and responsible. We emphasize clearances, ventilation, and stable support in every build.

Ventilation and heat management

  • Adequate cross-ventilation is critical in any enclosed base design
  • Use only burners and components that are appropriately rated by their manufacturers
  • Follow all local codes and the component manufacturer’s instructions

Clearances and surfaces

  • Place the outdoor fire table on a level, non-combustible surface when possible
  • For a deck fire table, confirm your deck material’s heat tolerance and consider heat shields or pads designed for this purpose
  • Keep the area free of overhanging combustibles and maintain recommended clearances on all sides

Fuel and connections

  • Fuel setup and connection requirements vary by burner kit and local code
  • Engage qualified professionals for any gas connections and permitting
  • We’ll design the enclosure to accommodate your chosen components and access needs

For general safety questions, you can also consult our site-wide FAQs and reach out for project-specific guidance.
