Preparation

The Garden Fire needs to be built onto a firm foundation. It should not be built directly onto decking. Schiedel recommends that a minimum 100mm reinforced concrete base is used to support the structure.

A distance of 75mm should be left between the Garden Fire and any wooden or other combustible material.

Instructions – Optional log store

(If this has not been purchased, go to page 4)

Create a suitable base. We recommend 100mm thick reinforced concrete. Bed the base plate using the supplied adhesive or mortar mix. Check every stage is level.

Mix lip glue jointing adhesive as per instructions on the bag. Apply 15-20mm beads using the supplied application bag as shown in the picture above.

Press one side block into place and apply lip glue into the slot as shown.

Press back panel into place and then add the remaining side panel.

This graphic shows a fireplace with the optional log store and base plate at the bottom.

Instructions – Rendering (Step 4)

Render plaster
To be mixed, adhered to the surface and smoothed over by a competent person. As this is heat resistant plaster, it requires more care and pressure to spread than traditional plaster, which is much 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 the external surface before rendering.

Mix the render as per the instructions on the bag.

Render the surface areas.

Ensure the edges are smooth and wait to dry.
