Thanks for the added tip! :)

Thanks, especially for the temperature tip. Someone else also recommended VHB tape, so I’ve ordered some.

Thanks! Yes, someone mentioned VHB tape, and I’ve already ordered it. Cheers.

No, I mean the plastic panel that covers the access to the wiper motor. I’ve run the cable through the rubber conduit that covers the wires through the hinge of the door and then out from under the cover panel. Yes, the camera is adjustable, but I don’t think it can be tilted enough if it’s attached directly to the window, due to how vertical my rear window is. It may be “good enough”, but I want it to see up a bit higher than it would allow being mounted directly to the window. It did come with a double sided piece of adhesive tape, but the tape is crap quality and doesn’t stick well. The cameras themselves work great.

That’s more than the first one I saw, but that one is described as 60a, but the pic shows 15a

It’s steel and concrete. What’s not safe about it?

If it was painted or plastic or some other material with a lower burn temp yes it would be dangerous.

Yeah fully finish it then hang

Also clean the panel surface with rubbing alcohol before you apply the VHB.

Half inch concrete board Durock with thinset then floating floors will be really close to the mark.

Can you link me too these by chance in please? I'm having no luck

That's correct, glad I could help! Good luck

Make sure your fire insurance policy is current.

Don't drive right after.

Lol I came looking for this. This is not a fire pit. It’s a planter. There’s zero ash or anything resembling it

Thank you! Also it’s good that I rarely drink then!

Thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't considered self-leveling cement. We were originally talking about a floating floor so I guess I was stuck on that idea.

So the self-leveling cement should bring the whole floor up to near-level with the rest of the house (minus the thickness of the cork and laminate)?

I think gas or solo would work. Most of the time it’s not an issue. Most issues with fire pits come from the drinking that goes on around them. I would just move it a little further out from the fence. I’m glad that it is not a structure. That’s what I originally thought it was. My other concern was that there was a tree above it. A wood fire burns hotter, and also has the ability for the ash to fly than a gas fireplace, which has greater control in the height of the fire. Enjoy your new home and your fire pit whatever you decide.

Our hot tub has a 60amp GFCI, which is the manufacturer spec. The wires are in waterproof conduit.

Square D is available on Amazon for $95.

Home Depot offers the Square D in a outside panel for $136.

Note the mfg spec called for a disconnect box viewable from the spa and at least 5’ away from the spa. The outdoor panel can work for this.

Yes I mentioned the solo stove because it is portable. The 2ft away is because this concrete tile/block space is only about 15ft x 15ft with the fence on the east side, grass on the south side, house on the west side, and a plastic deck on the north side. So the more I move it away from the fence the closer I’d be moving it to the house.

Should I stick with the original gas fire pit idea then?

Definitely not safe, it's way too close to whatever is right beside it.

Pour some self-levelling cement first. Maybe even two pours. Then a thinner cork layer/underlay for sound deadening, then your laminate.

Any a flame near combustible object is never advised. Solo stove looks like it would be more controlled. You stated that your yard is very small and move in the fire pit to a different location would black a pathway. A portable fire pit could solve this problem. You pull it out to an area where it is not near anything combustible and it would not block the walkway when you are not using it and you could put it somewhere else. Even a barbecue should be at least 10 feet away from the home even if it is propane. An out of control fire is never expected. That’s why they are called accidents.

… did your house burn down?

Also it’s a fence and not the house. Anyways, my experience with fires are campfires at campsites and I’ve never had any issues with large sparks or the fire getting out of control.

Would you think that a solo stove would be a better solution in the same location or 2 ft over?
