Product Usage Instructions
Preparation
Prior to building the Garden Fire, ensure that you have a firm foundation. Do not build the fireplace directly onto decking. We recommend using a minimum 100mm reinforced concrete base to support the structure. Maintain a distance of 100mm between the Garden Fire and any wooden or combustible material.
Log store and firechest (Step 1)
- Position the base plate onto a solid surface, preferably a 100mm thick reinforced concrete foundation.
- Bed the two Frame sections together using the supplied lip glue adhesive.
- Mix the lip glue jointing adhesive as per the instructions on the bag and apply 15-20mm beads using the supplied application bag.
- Apply lip glue around the top of the frame section and then glue on the next two frame sections. Press the base plate down into position and ensure it is level.
Gather unit (Step 2)
- Apply lip glue to the top layer of the gather unit and press the front and rear sections into place.
- Apply lip glue to the joints on the sides of the front and rear panels of the gather.
- Press the side panels of the gather into place.
- The fireplace with the gather unit should resemble the provided image. Apply a layer of lip glue around the top of the first block and press the second block into place. Ensure the top is level and clean off any excess glue.
- Apply a layer of glue on the 2 chimney blocks, ensuring everything is level, and wipe off any excess glue.
Capping (Step 3)
- Apply lip glue to the top of the final chimney block.
- Position the capping over the glue and ensure it is centered.
- Push and adjust the capping into place.
Side log stores (Step 4)
To assemble the side log stores:
- Place the base and add the three frame sections using the supplied lip glue adhesive.
- Check each stage for levelness.

Garden Fireplace firebricks guide
500 model
Note for all models
8mm gap between bricks.
Bedded on 1-3mm thick firebrick mortar
Firebricks to be glued on and pointed with the Calderys firebrick mortar as
per enclosed instructions
Prior to gluing the bricks, remember to place the 8 x brackets (2 front and 2 back brackets on each side) supported on the firebricks, before the next row of firebricks are added. These are supports for the grill.
PLEASE NOTE: Firebrick colours will vary in shade to photographs shown in these instructions. This is natural due to the production process.
Firebricks and grill supports (Step 5)
- Mortar bag – Used for gluing on firebricks and pointing in. Mix as per instructions on the bag
- Bed the firebricks on to a 3mm layer of firebrick mortar. Use the tables on the previous page as a guide.
- Complete the bottom layer of firebricks, then fasten the rear firebricks in place using the firebrick mortar. Use a tile spacer to keep an 8mm gap.
- Once the bottom and rear firebricks are in place, fasten the side bricks in position using the firebrick mortar. Use a tile spacer to keep an 8mm gap. During the first and second level, you must slot in the grill supports as shown in the next step
- Inset grill support front and back brackets prior to fitting the firebricks on the side walls. These can be supported on the firebrick layer as shown.
- Use the mortar mix to point up the joints between the firebricks once they are all in position. Clean off excess mortar.
Log retainer (Step 6)
- Drill 2 x 12mm diameter holes in the front row of the firebricks. Push log retainer holders in place.
- Then push fit the log retainer bars into the slots.
Rendering (Step 7)
Render plaster
To be mixed and adhered to the surface and smoothed by a competent person. As
this is heat resistant plaster, it requires more care and pressure to spread.
in comparison to traditional plaster which is much more smoother.
Render plaster is designed for one coat, if you require more coats you will
need to purchase more render.
- Burn off the fibres on external surface before rendering.
- Mix the render as per the instructions
- Render the surface areas.
- Ensure the edges are smooth and wait to dry.
Wood doors (Step 8)
- Align the hinge to the logstore, ensuring the door is below the top of the logstore (a 5mm gap is fine).
- Secure the hinge to the pumice logstore with the screws provided.
- Attach the magnetic latch to the inside of the logstore with the screws provided.
- Mark with a pencil the end of the magnetic latch on the door.
- Attach the metal ring to the door.
- Test that the door closes and opens correctly. Adjust where needed.
table top and wood background (Step 9)
- Lay the granite surface on a bed of lip glue.
- Ensure that the granite is level.
- Place the second granite surface on the logstore and ensure these are level.
- Place the side wooden panel on top of the granite. Fix with screws provided, flush to the back.
- Re-fix the two long supports to the back panel, as shown above. Then fix the back wooden panel to the log stores with the screws provided.
- Attach the bottom metal bracket to the side and back panels.
Wood background (Step 10)

After completion
Once build and rendering is complete, please do not use for at least 72 hours
after completion.
On first use, always light a small fire first and increase the size of the
fire once the firechest has fully dried out. Only use dried and seasoned wood
for the fire. Do not burn plastic or waste products.
