Covered Patio & Pavilion Fireplaces
Fireplaces built into covered patios, pavilions and screened porches, with the proper clearances, flues and non-combustible finishes.
- Roof clearance: Per code and listing
- Fuel: Gas or wood, per design
- Finish: Stone, brick, tile, stucco
What it is, and why it works.
A fireplace under a roof means rain no longer cancels the evening. The pavilion keeps the seats dry, the fireplace takes the chill off and the outdoor room becomes usable on far more days of the year. It is the single biggest way to stretch your outdoor season.
Fire under a roof demands care. We design the flue to clear the roofline, use non-combustible materials near the structure, set proper hearth extensions and choose gas or wood to suit the enclosure. Across Nashville, where covered patios and screened porches are some of the most popular home additions, we coordinate with builders and roofers so the fireplace and the structure work as one.
Four things done right.
Clearances done right
Heat shields, hearth extensions and flue heights planned with the roof.
Non-combustible finish
Stone, tile or masonry near framing and beams.
Smoke managed
Draft and flue height planned so smoke does not pool.

Covered Patio Fireplaces: common questions
Can I add a fireplace to a covered patio I already have?
Often yes, but we must check roof framing, clearances and ventilation. We review the structure and tell you what is possible before you commit.
Is a wood fireplace safe under a roof?
It can be when the flue, clearances and materials are right, but gas is often easier to manage in an enclosed space. We explain both options.
