I'm going to install a concrete footer/base for an outdoor fireplace.
The specs say this footer/base must be able to hold 1500 lbs. I
haven't received the fireplace yet, so I don't have the full specs/
directions (I do have the dimensions), I want to get started on the
footer before it gets real cold. My questions are:
1) The Fireplace itself is 2' x 4.5' , what should the dimensions of
the footer/base be?
2) How thick does this footer/base have to be?
3) Do I need a real footer, like a deck footer below the freeze line?
4) It's going to be right next to my patio, should I tie it into the
patio (which is only 5" thick) or just pour it next to it?
Thank you
