8. Repeat the previous two steps to 

    a height of 5 layers above the roof, 

    checking that the layers remain level. 

    Glue the 5th layer down with 

    landscape glue. 

9. Install the two-piece fireplace cap 

   as indicated in the diagram. Adjust     

   the cap as needed to ensure that it 

   is centred with a 1 3/8” overhang on 

   all sides. Glue this layer down using 

   the included landscape glue. 

NOTE:

 Do not glue down fireplace 

cap if the rain cap is still going to be 

installed.

OPTIONAL RAIN CAP INSTALL:

Lift one side of the fireplace cap 

and place one side of the rain cap 

underneath. Lift the other side of the 

fireplace cap and place the other 

side of the rain cap underneath. Glue 

fireplace cap in place with the included 

landscape glue.

CURING INSTRUCTIONS:

Upon installation of your new fireplace, there are still small amounts of moisture needing 

to work their way out of the fireplace. If you immediately begin to build large fires in your 

fireplace, you will compromise its longevity and can ultimately cause damage, including 

cracking. It is then important to build fires slowly to cure the fireplace in preparation for use.

The first day of firing, the inside temperature should stay close to 100˚C without exceeding it. 

A suggested way to do so is by building a fire in a separate location, and placing the hot coals 

into the inside floor of the fireplace. Gradually build up from this point to larger and larger fires 

for 4-5 days.

Allow 72 hours for glue and silicone 

to set before first use.
