Santa Cruz Fireplace

The Santa Cruz

This custom fireplace will demand attention and will surely be the focal point of your outdoor space. This design offers a squared firebox and two squared and 4" recessed storage voids. These storage voids will bring out the rustic look when the firewood is stacked inside. The overall rectangular footprint of the structure is 14'8" wide and 48" from the front to back. The storage voids are 32" wide, 20" deep, and 24" tall. The shelves above the storage voids are 4' tall and the overall height of the fireplace as designed is just over 9'. The firebox opening measures 48” wide, 24” deep, and 32” high. This measurement is calculated before the addition of firebrick.



The Santa Cruz plan has a total of 40 pages.
