The Ember Mat is designed to catch popping embers, it will not prevent heat transfer to the ground. For use on non-sensitive surfaces such as concrete, sand, or dirt allow a minimum of 10-inches of airspace between the bottom of your fire pit and the Ember Mat. For use on sensitive surfaces such as grass or wood decks, the use of a secondary heat shield or pavers/bricks underneath your fire pit is required in addition to the 10-inches of airspace to prevent heat transfer to the ground surface.
