Common Questions

Can this fire place be put on a wooden deck?
A. Depends on which design you want as they vary in weight but usually a wooden deck would not be strong enough to hold a concrete fire place. In some cases it is suitable to build up a concrete pedestal to the deck height and then place the fire place on that.

Can these be craned over a house in to difficult to reach locations?
Yes this is a very common occurrence. Because of the modular design the maximum weight of any one piece is 650kg, so an average crane or large Hiab can lift the modules 20-40 meters into your property. Your next question will be but isn’t that really expensive ? Cranes vary in price from $150 - $300+ per hour but installation should only take ½ -1 hr depending on the fire place model. So at the end of the day it is often the most cost effective & simplest way to go.

Who do I get to install it?
