Product Highlights
Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel — Built for Permanent Outdoor Installation
The GSS62’s heavy-duty stainless steel construction is the material choice that separates a premium outdoor gas fireplace from a standard one. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion through rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations without requiring protective coatings or seasonal treatments. For a permanent outdoor installation that is expected to perform and look the part for years, stainless steel is the correct construction material — and the GSS62’s heavy-duty specification means it is built to the standard expected at this price point.
Electronic Ignition & Control Panel — Complete Operational Control
The electronic ignition and control panel eliminate the friction of manual fire-starting and give you direct, precise control over the flame. Turn the fireplace on in seconds, adjust the flame height to match the occasion, and shut it off cleanly when the gathering ends — all from the control panel without manual intervention. This is the operational standard expected of a premium outdoor gas fireplace and the feature that makes the GSS62 genuinely convenient for regular use rather than occasional use.
Customizable Burn Media — Personalize the Flame Aesthetic
The GSS62’s customizable burn media is a design feature that allows the flame presentation to be tailored to the surrounding outdoor aesthetic. Lava rocks create a natural, organic flame bed that suits garden and landscape settings. Glass pebbles create a more contemporary, polished flame presentation that suits modern patio and deck environments. The ability to choose and change the burn media means the GSS62 adapts to your design vision rather than imposing a fixed aesthetic.
Protective Screen & Shutoff Valve — Dual Safety Design
The protective screen provides a physical barrier between the flame and guests — a non-negotiable safety feature for outdoor fireplaces used in households with children or pets. The integrated shutoff valve provides direct gas management at the fireplace itself, allowing the gas supply to be cut at the source without requiring access to the main supply shutoff. Together, these features reflect the safety engineering standard expected of a premium outdoor gas fireplace at this price point.

Gas Fireplace vs. Wood-Burning — The Practical Case
Wood-burning outdoor fireplaces require sourcing and storing dry wood, building and managing the fire, tolerating smoke as wind direction shifts, cleaning ash after every use, and managing spark risk near outdoor furniture and structures. The Galaxy GSS62 ignites electronically in seconds, burns cleanly without smoke or ash, requires no wood storage, and shuts off from the control panel when the gathering ends. For an outdoor fireplace used regularly, the cumulative convenience advantage of gas — combined with the GSS62’s electronic ignition and control panel — is significant. The full visual and atmospheric experience of an outdoor fireplace, without any of the wood-burning overhead.
Suitable Installation Spaces
- Open patios and outdoor entertaining areas with adequate clearance from combustible structures and materials
- Covered outdoor living spaces and pergolas with appropriate ventilation clearance for gas appliance operation
- Garden and landscape settings where the fireplace serves as a focal point for outdoor gathering areas
- Decks and rooftop terraces with sufficient structural load capacity and gas line access
Installation must comply with local building codes, gas appliance regulations, and fire safety clearance requirements. A licensed gas fitter is required for gas line connection. Consult with a licensed contractor and your local municipality before installation.
