Can you put a gas fire pit on a trex deck.
Before using a gas fire pit on your deck you must consider where you are going to place it.
Fortunately trex doesn t say no to fire pits altogether and recommends using a barrier between a fire pit and the deck surface they mention wood burning specifically.
A fire resistant material is installed under the fire pit and a protective wall made of stone or other fire resistant material is installed to hold the fire pit in place and also to protect the decking from heat.
The heat alone can warp the decking materials as well as embers can burn the deck as well.
In this case the fire pit is installed by cutting around the trex decking.
Ideally it should be placed close to the center of the deck as possible so there is plenty of space on all sides of it.
Trex decking can soften at about 176 degrees fahrenheit so you have to very cautious on the size of your fire.
I don t want to have to maintain a wood deck.
First you should never put a fire pit directly on your deck with no protection.
Wood burning fire pits are not recommended on top of trex decking unless.
