        "text": "Installing a built-in fire pit directly on a wooden deck or patio is generally not recommended due to fire safety risks and structural concerns. Wood is a combustible material, and the intense heat generated by a fire pit can pose a significant hazard. Building codes and safety regulations typically require specific clearances and non-combustible surfaces around fire features. For installations on or near decks, a separate, non-combustible foundation like concrete or stone is usually required, creating a safe zone. Always consult with a professional to assess your specific outdoor space and ensure compliance with all safety standards.",
