Weatherproofing The Installation; Appliance Placement Requirements - Travis Industries Fire Garden 94900340 Manual

Weatherproofing the Installation

This appliance is designed to withstand being installed outdoors in the elements; however, the enclosure will need
to be designed and constructed to withstand the same. The builder must provide a means for water to escape the
enclosure that is appropriate and specific to the site of the installation. This may necessitate improving ground
drainage, the fabrication of a drain pan, the creation of weep holes in the base of the enclosure, or building a roof
over the appliance (covers over the appliance must meet all the requirements detailed in this manual).

cover and no more than two sidewalls. The sidewalls
may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angles
to each other.
