Can this be safely used on top of a wood patio/deck?

We have it on our wood deck and it is terrific! The only thing weird on it is the door when you put it together, but for the price we love having it.

I think so. I'm not a technical expert, of course, but I do think it would be fine. I don't notice any heat at coming from the bottom or sides of the unit, just the top. It's a nice fire pit; it's not the warmest but does a nice job of providing some heat and lots of ambiance. John

Yes, we use this fire pit in our screened room with a wooden floor. I have it sitting on an outdoor rug with absolutely no damage to the rug or wood floor. We love this fire pit!

Oh yes, the flame is not high! I LOVE IT and for the price it is a fabulous buy!!!!

We have used this fire pit for about a year now....it seems very safe and I think it would be great on a wood deck. Enjoy....Mike

Yes I have mine on a wood gazebo. The flames are nice and contained. Smores are super!

Yes, we currently use the fire pit on our composite deck. The flame is large but the wind will blow the flame out before it would blow it towards the railing. We keep it about 1 foot away from the railing just incase.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.

it will definately cause water damage as it is a porous material. weight is another question and would depend on the structure of the deck.

It will work on a deck but you might need to use an umbrella foot that can be fixed to the deck, instead of the ground anchor that comes with it. We are very pleased with it.

Yes it can be put on a deck. I would use long all thread bolts for the legs to hold into place.

Gets extremely hot - I wouldn't recommend it on a wooden deck. We have it on our patio with a grill pad underneath it to protect the patio from rust marks.

I wouldn't put the unit out in the direct sun, but if you kept it on the patio but in the shade and slightly above the ground I would think it would be okay. Also getting the unit wet would not a be a good idea hence my idea of getting it off the ground.

I think it can. I dont think I would use it in direct weather as the sun might blister the wood finish. However I dont think it would be affected by the rain.

Yes it can!! Your deck is not brand new so it should work just fine there are no stipulations on the kind of wood you can use it on

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

Mine is on a concrete patio but I don't think I would put it on a wood deck.

I wouldn't, unless you coated it some kind of weatherproofing for wood. If you live in a mild climate and it would always be protected, it might work.

Yes, if the ground it's on is stable. Since it's wood I wouldn't recommend using it in inclement weather.

No. The top is made of particle wood. With plastic covering. Not something I would use outside.

It will be safe to use, however, if you have windows that have drafts, it means they aren't sealed and you will get some smoke inside. I put mine on my front deck and just put it on a wooden pallet to raise it from the deck itself. It was fine.

I have used it in that way under my house and a deck. I believe this is fine as long as it is not exposed to sunlight.

I would not sipmly due to the heat from the fire pit. It works well and looks nice. I would use extreme caution on a wood deck.
