Terms of service

The terms you accept by using this site — including the one about your manual winning.

Last reviewed September 1, 2026

By using Flame & Flagstone you accept the terms below. The one that actually matters: everything here is general information, and for anything involving gas, electricity or clearances your unit's manual and a licensed professional outrank this site.

The safety disclaimer, first

Read this before acting on anything here

Outdoor heaters burn fuel or draw substantial electrical current, and getting clearances, ventilation or gas connections wrong causes fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and serious injury. Nothing on this site is a substitute for your unit's own manual, your local building and fire codes, or a licensed gas fitter or electrician. Where this site and your manual disagree, your manual wins — every time, without exception.

We publish clearance figures quoted from manufacturers and computed sizing figures derived from published specifications. Both are general information for a category, not an assessment of your specific space, structure, fuel supply or local code. We have not seen your patio and cannot advise on it.

Information, not professional advice

The content here is editorial and informational. It is not engineering advice, fire-safety advice, legal advice or financial advice, and no relationship of professional responsibility is created by your reading it. Decisions about what to buy and how to install it are yours.

Accuracy, and its limits

This site takes accuracy seriously and works harder at it than most: every figure is either sourced or computed from sourced inputs, and the arithmetic is printed so you can check it. Even so, specifications change, manufacturers revise documents, prices move constantly, and arithmetic can be wrong.

So the content is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Verify anything that matters against the manufacturer's current documentation before you rely on it. If you find an error, tell us — we correct on the page. How corrections work.

Prices and availability

Any price shown here comes from an automated feed, is stamped with the date it was verified, and disappears automatically once it is more than 48 hours old. Prices and availability at the retailer change constantly and the retailer's own page at the moment of purchase is the only authority. We are not responsible for a price that has moved since a page was rendered.

This site earns commission on qualifying purchases made through its links, at no additional cost to you, as set out in full on the affiliate disclosure. We are not the seller of any product mentioned. Every purchase contract is between you and the retailer, and warranty, delivery, returns and refunds are matters for them.

Third-party sites

Links to manufacturers, retailers, standards bodies and government datasets are provided because they are useful. We do not control those sites, do not endorse everything on them, and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy or their privacy practices.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Flame & Flagstone and its publisher are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, property damage or personal injury, arising out of your use of this site or your reliance on anything published here. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case the narrowest limitation the law permits applies instead.

Intellectual property

The writing, computed tables and site design are © 2026 Flame & Flagstone. You are welcome to quote a short passage with attribution and a link. Republishing pages wholesale, or scraping the content to reproduce it elsewhere, is not permitted. Product names, brands and trademarks belong to their owners and are used descriptively.

Photography on this site is licensed stock, used under the terms of its license, and does not depict our premises, our staff or any product we own — because we have none of those things, which the about page says plainly.

Acceptable use

  • Do not attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorized access to the site.
  • Do not scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for readers. Reasonable crawling is welcome, and robots.txt states what is permitted.
  • Do not misrepresent our content as your own, or as an endorsement of a product by us.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site changes. The last-reviewed date at the top reflects the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the revised terms.
