Installing Fireplaces and/or Fire Pits With Trex
Decking:
»
Determine if fire will be gas or wood burning.
(
NOTE
:
Most fire pits shown in Trex images are gas
burning.)
»
For gas, the fire pit is installed by cutting around the
Trex decking.
It is not to be installed on top of Trex
decking.
A fire-resistant material is installed under
the fire pit and a protective “wall" made from stone or
other fire-resistant material is installed to hold fire pit
in place and also protect the decking from heat.
»
For wood, fire pits are not recommended on top
of Trex decking unless using a product called
DeckProtect
®*
. Wood-burning fire pits can damage
the decking due to extreme heat from the bottom of
the fire pit and/or burning embers “shooting" onto the
decking. DeckProtect
®
was tested on all Trex decking
and there were no issues with burning of the decking
surface when placed directly under a standard size
portable fire pit along with the accompanying rack
(
NOTE
:
Rack is not available for all sizes, so check
with manufacturer first for verification). Trex does
recommend that the DeckProtect
®
padding/rack
be moved from time to time for general cleaning
underneath. It should be noted that even when using
DeckProtect
®
, burning embers could “shoot" beyond
the protective mat and burn the deck.

Installing a Pergola on Trex Decking:
»
Keep in mind that if you are planning to install a Trex
®
Pergola™ on your deck, you will need access to the
underside of the deck. Trex Pergola mounts with a
10
"
x 10
"
(254 mm x 254 mm) aluminum plate on the
underside of the deck, creating a clamping effect on
both the top and bottom of the deck for maximum
strength. If installed, water barriers and any under
deck coverings will have to be removed to properly
install the pergola posts.
»
You need to consider the location of your pergola
posts with respect to joists. However, you do not have
to mount your plates between joists. It is possible to
place blocks on the bottom of the joists and mount
the Trex Pergola brackets through the blocks.
