Outdoor Fireplace FAQs

Our fireplaces are built using top marine grade 6mm alloy plate which has no concerns with the heat generated.

Because we use a fire wool wrapped around the outside of the fire bricks we are able to reduce the heat from transferring to the outside shell. The lower area of the fireplace will warm up slightly but is safe to touch. The higher areas that are out of reach for small children get hotter, due to the fact that heat rises. (No hotter than a modern indoor house fireplace).

Due to the fact we use genuine firebricks, a steel rear heat deflecting plate and wrap the outside of the fire bricks with fire wool the fire pushes out excellent heat.

Because the aluminium we use is the same as used for building a quality aluminium boat, it will handle coastal environments. Fresh rain water is good for keeping the aluminium clean. They do not corrode.

Very easy, dry firewood is always best.

The fireplace can come with our custom designed cast iron hot plate and swing arm. This will allow you to fry on. You can also add the roasting dish and wire rack for roasting meats, as well as a pizza brick for cooking pizzas on.

When on a smooth concrete surface it is easily manoeuvred by an adult.

Due to the quality materials used, no real Maintence is required. Just watch out for bird droppings, remove immediately as they can stain.

We endeavor to get it out in 2 weeks but due to large orders this may vary. Please Contact Us to confirm.

There is a 5 year warranty on workmanship. There is no reason for any concerns with the product breaking down or deteriorating. We have a small burner that has been in use for around 40 years with no signs of fatigue or failure.

We do not give the paint a warranty due to the manufacturers not giving us a warranty.
