Question
I am in the process of designing an outdoor living space.  I have planned a double sided fire feature - gas only non wood burning.  The ideal opening is 56" wide by 18" tall and 32" deep.  I can certainly change the dimensions.  My question is there a standard cross section I can view depicting typical construction and/or what do I need to be aware of?

Thanks!

Hello Rand, you have to start with your local building department, they will tell you exactly what you need for your application, I belive you have to build it as if you will burn wood and then install the gas logs unless they are un vented (not a big fan of)
