OVERVIEW

The Brighton Fireplace from the Belgard Elements Collection

 consists of two large pieces: a base 

and a top. The units are shipped separately on two pallets. Shipped in the base unit you will find 
filler blocks for all fork slots; a total of eight plugs are shipped with the unit.

IMPORTANT

Before installing the fireplace, please review local building code requirements in your area.  
Fireplaces typically have a minimum setback from all buildings. It is also necessary to construct 
a properly compacted gravel base to set the fireplace on. Before construction of the gravel pad it 
is necessary to establish 

Finish Grade

 height first to ensure the first course of the firepalce unit 

is buried 4". Once finished height has been determined construction of the gravel pad can be 
completed.
