Berkeley Outdoor Fireplace: a see-through linear fireplace you finish yourself
The Outdoor Plus Berkeley outdoor fireplace is a Ready to Finish see-through gas fireplace, a long, low rectangle open on both sides so two seating areas share one flame. It comes in 84, 96, 108, and 120 inch lengths and is built in the USA on a steel frame wrapped in fiber cement board, ready for the stone, tile, or stucco you choose.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The stainless burner system is built in; fire glass and decorative burner ornaments are optional. Want a taller, one-sided fireplace? See the Huntington outdoor fireplace. The Berkeley outdoor fireplace ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Why would anyone want a fireplace that arrives unfinished?
Because the hard part is already done. The Berkeley shows up as a professional-grade structural base with the frame, burner, and safety hardware in place, so you skip the cost and complexity of traditional masonry and simply apply the surface that matches your space. That is how ready-to-finish outdoor fireplaces give a patio a custom look without a mason’s timeline.
What is hiding under the fiber cement board shell?
A heavy-duty steel tubing frame, individually handcrafted in the USA. The board wrapped around that skeleton is weather-resistant and mold-resistant fiber cement, forming a solid structure 48 inches tall and 31 inches deep. Together they give you a base built to stand up to the outdoors long before the first finish material ever goes on.
Can you stucco over fiber cement board?
Yes. Stucco is one of the approved finishes for this shell, right alongside stone, tile, and veneer, and the only rule is that the material must be non-combustible. That freedom is the point: the same Berkeley base can read Mediterranean in stucco, rustic in stacked stone, or sleek in large-format tile, depending on the patio around it.
Can a see-through fire wall really stretch ten feet?
It can. The run goes 84, 96, 108, and 120 inches, and the longest of those is a full ten feet of linear flame visible from either side. Every length keeps the same 48-inch height and 31-inch depth, so scaling up adds presence without changing the footprint’s depth. Measure the sight line you want to command and pick the length that owns it.
Does the far side of the flame get shortchanged?
No side is the back. The see-through design shows the fire from both faces, so a dining table on one side and a lounge on the other each get the full flame view. That is what lets this unit work as an elegant architectural divide between outdoor rooms instead of a wall you only decorate on one face.
What do whistle-free hoses actually prevent?
Exactly what the name promises: the irritating whistle a gas line can make as fuel moves through it. They arrive along with the 304 stainless steel linear burner, the drop-in pan, and a stainless steel air vent for safety and ventilation, so the flame hardware is sorted before your finish crew ever mixes a batch of mortar.
Can the Berkeley's fire be fully automated?
Very much so. Five ignition options span the range: manual match-lit at the simple end, match-lit with flame sense, flame sense with spark, plug-and-play ready, and a CSA-certified low-voltage electronic system at the fully automated end. Order the unit for natural gas or liquid propane and choose whichever control level your project calls for.
