NFPA advises never adding lighter fluid or any other flammable liquid to a fire that's already burning.

What Shapes an outdoor fireplace in Southside

Southside homes range from wooded lots off Baymeadows to newer communities with compact yards near the Town Center, so privacy and shade are common goals. The St. Johns Town Center and the University of North Florida anchor the Southside, with newer homes on tight lots around them. Small lots usually suit a gas fire feature, since smoke drifting next door is less of a concern.

Matching the finish to the house, or to the column wraps, makes the fireplace look like it was always there. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Southside, we check where the chimney or firebox can sit, clearances to the roof and walls and which finish matches the house.

Before leaving a fire, NFPA advises dousing it with water and making sure the area is cool to the touch.

Approvals and Permits in Southside

On the Southside, review depends on the address: gated communities and newer neighborhoods like eTown have an architectural review board, while many older streets don't. For an outdoor fireplace, review boards usually want the height, the finish and the location on the lot. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In Southside, we file with the City of Jacksonville through JaxEPICS, record the Notice of Commencement for most permitted projects and schedule the inspections through final. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
