Gas or Wood Burning Fireplace

8 years ago
From the pictures it looks like a wood burning fireplace, but is it a fire hazard to install it on a composite deck? I want to create something similar but I am concerned my town may take issue with it. Is there a work around?

    Hi Ianod, thank you for reaching out to us. We recommend contacting your
    city or town for any questions regarding proper permitting for home improvement
    projects. Safety of the fireplace will depend heavily on the materials used in the surround and mantel itself. A gas fireplace is a better option because it is cleaner, as ash is not easy to remove from composite decking. To learn more about our products visit our website.
