What happens here

Begin by rough framing the fireplace opening on the screened-in porch. Use a circular saw, such as a Metabo HPT 10-inch miter saw, to cut the necessary lumber (2x4s) for the vertical studs and horizontal headers. Utilize a DeWalt 20V MAX XR impact driver for quickly driving screws to assemble the wooden frame directly onto the existing plywood wall. The opening is designed to accommodate a linear fireplace, with specific non-combustible zones. The final rough opening will be approximately 41 and 5/8 inches wide, with the viewing area starting 6.5 inches off the deck and extending up, leaving an 18-inch section above that needs to be non-combustible.

Goal: Create the structural framework for a linear fireplace
