Overview
Not a finished fireplace, the Contractor's Model is a single-sided, vertical gas unit cast from glass-fiber reinforced concrete in white. It is made as a base for custom finishing in tile or stonework, with any exposed concrete sealed against soot, weather and dirt.
A show-model shell lets a builder shape the final look around the patio instead of accepting a set finish. The concrete resists high heat and is made for long life, and each unit is handcrafted to order. The flip side is work: finishing, sealing and waiting out the lead time fall to the buyer, and only some components are included.
Who it's for
Contractors, designers and owners planning a custom outdoor focal point are the audience, along with anyone willing to wait for a made-to-order unit. Buyers wanting a finished look on delivery, or a small, light fire feature, should skip it, since the unit is heavy and unfinished.
Pros and cons
- Customizable recessed design for your own finish
- Glass-fiber reinforced concrete resists high temperatures
- Handcrafted and made to order
- Natural vent gas fireplace
- Unfinished, so tile or stonework is extra
- Exposed concrete must be sealed against staining
- Lead time before it ships
- Very heavy for placement and delivery
Performance notes
Gas burns inside a natural vent chamber that is listed for outdoor use. Heat output is set by the listed gas rating, which warms a nearby seating area rather than a whole yard. The concrete shell tolerates heat, but bare surfaces take soot and weather stains unless sealed, so the finishing layer and sealer decide how it ages.

Frequently asked questions
What is included with the Contractor's Model fireplace?
The listing says some components are included without naming them. Facing material such as tile or stonework, and sealer for exposed concrete, are your own, so confirm the parts list with the seller.

No. The listing says these fireplaces are unfinished units, meant to be customized with a finishing substrate such as tiles or stonework, and exposed concrete must be sealed.
How long does the Contractor's Model take to ship?
Each unit is handcrafted and made to order, and the description asks buyers to allow the specified lead time before it ships.
