Heathrow's premium outdoor kitchens and pergolas still have to meet Florida Building Code's full inland wind-load standards, the same structural bar as anywhere in the metro, so ARB-approved materials also need to be engineered, not just aesthetic. The community carries the same statewide baseline otherwise: daily summer thunderstorms, an 8-month entertaining season, and sandy soil requiring properly engineered base and drainage work under every slab.

Clearance requirements vary by county and fuel type, so we confirm local rules before placing anything. As a general rule, more distance from the house and any wood fencing is safer, and we also factor in prevailing wind direction when choosing the final spot.

Most do, but many restrict wood-burning units or require a gas fire feature instead, especially in newer master-planned communities. We check your community's rules before finalizing the design.
