Use on a wooden deck: You really can't use this on a wooden deck?

I think using this on a wooden deck would be inviting trouble. The Weber doesn't have screened sides either so a coal popping out of the fire onto the deck could easily happen. I think your better off using a chimnea and although not sold at amazon, I really like the big green egg ones - http://www.biggreenegg.com/chiminea.html Good luck.

Yes, you can use it on a wooden surface, the legs are tall enough to keep enough heat off wood.

Yes, this fire pit can be used on a wood deck - you're right, some fire pits should not be used on or near combustible decking; however this unit is safe to use.

Yes ours is on a wooden deck and we have no problems. It up high enough away from the wood

You could. The flame is about 10 inches above the surface. There is no wind protection for this unit so the slightest breeze makes the flame flutter. Some people put something around the flame if there is wind to keep it from blowing out. I wouldn't do something like that on a wood deck but other than that there shouldn't be an issue with the flame and the wood. Be careful of boil overs.

On the Stokes website they say this - "The Clamp-On Deck Hook easily attaches to horizontal deck rails ranging in size from 3/4″ to 2″ thick...".So that's is "just" too small. You could probably just put a plywood shim in it.

If the wood, on the deck, is not rotted you can use the wood filler for repair. Any rot must be removed and replaced first. If the wood is "soft" you may be able to use "wood hardener" from Minwax before using the filler.

I actually use mine on my wooden deck - no issues at all. This is the second portable fire pit I've used on my deck over the years (the first one just wore out), and I've never had any problems with it burning the wood. Of course, when your teens decide to be cute and put their Frisbee underneath it, you realize that it does get hot there and melt the plastic to the wood, but that's not the fault of the fire pit. :)

No, when you apply it, it's VERY thick and goopy, so vertical lumber would just drip down. Suggestions are to use regular paint/stain for deck posts, so I imagine you'd have to do the same for vertical boards.

I have honestly not even used mine yet, as my festival was canceled. But I heard the legs melt after excessive use. I would think it'd be ok for short term use on a deck

I have used it sparingly on my deck, and saw no problems. If it is okay for Paws and Plants..... wood should be fine.

It may work better on concrete rather than wood - which is what I had. However the risk you are running is that you spend a lot of money and time (as I did) only to have to rip the whole stuff up again. I'd try another product if I were you.

My deck is the same way so my husband built a wooden step right on the deck. I am including a picture so that you can see what he did. Hope this helps you.

No not at all... Don't put it really close. Deck Wood is way softer than your car and I used it on 3 wood decks without any gouge marks. If you live in a cool weather state. Buy the air in a can to blow it out before the first freeze works great at getting all the water out.

We use in on our concrete driveway but I can't imagine the deck would be a problem. It's very hot of course, but I don't believe hot enough to start a fire or char the wood.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons:1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly.2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet.3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up.I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

Haven't tired on wood. Used on vinyl siding and composite deck flooring and it works beautifully. As for wooden decks flooring or any wood product can't say. Check directions given on container to see if there are any warnings regarding wood. With the success I've had using the product I would have to see with a small area of spare wood product testing and then leave it in the sun for a few days to see if any indication of problems. Have used this product for several years and found it to be the best I've ever used for mold and other stains that have appeared on my decking and vinyl siding.
