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 100mm should be left between the Garden Fire and any wooden or other combustible material.

Instructions – Log store and f irechest (Step 1)

Create a suitable base. We recommend 100mm thick reinforced concrete. Bed the two C sections using the supplied lip glue adhesive. Check each 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.

Apply lip glue around the top of the C section and then press the base plate down into position. Check that it is level.

Glue on the next two C sections

Instructions – Gather unit (Step 2)

Press the side panels of the gather into place.| The fireplace with the gather unit should resemble the image above.

Apply a layer of lip glue around the top of the first block and then 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 x chimney blocks. Check all is level and wipe off excess glue.

Instructions – Rendering (Step 3)

Render plaster
To be mixed and adhered to the sur face 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 sur face before rendering.

Ensure the edges are smooth and wait to dry.
