* Items are typically delivered with concrete fireplace structure. It may not suit to position
these items into final location at time of fireplace install, however it helps to use mechanical
lift to place them nearby for an easier 2 man lift into final position.
** A sackbarrow will help to move GRC Woodboxes into position without damaging corners
(Especially if already plastered). Bottlejacks and support blocks are required to support
weight of concrete hearths while aligning bolts.
*** Ensure your crane/ HIAB provider supplies these (Hudson requires 2 x 2.5 ton).
**** Only required if your installation uses infill rather than anchor brackets (see
relevant ‘Trendz Precast Fireplace Design’ Engineers drawings for spec for your fireplace). Due
to volumes required Trendz recommends using concrete from a local ready-mix supplier.
***** This is for when the fire is coming with foundation brackets.
