Any accumulated rain water will drain from a 7/8” opening in the center rear of the fireplace bottom.
This
opening must not be blocked.
The water which runs through this opening will accumulate in the base of your
enclosure and
must
be allowed to drain away from the enclosure. An appropriate length of 11/2” - 2” PVC pipe
installed at the base of the enclosure which would run down and out, is recommended. These openings must
be checked for blockage periodically.
While combustible framing is permitted, metal
framing is more appropriate for an outdoor
enclosure. A typical installation is shown.
The fireplace is then placed in the framing.
The facing is applied to the framing.
