Installation Notes
The Riverside is for outdoor use only. The location must keep at least 30 percent of the outdoor living space periphery open, and any enclosure must follow the spec sheet. Framing needs a 72" minimum enclosure height, and the mantel clearance chart on the spec sheet applies to combustible mantels. Gas hookup and framing should be done by a licensed professional. We can review your outdoor room plan, gas and clearances during a design consultation.
