Well the answer is a little muddy.
Before using a gas fire pit on your deck you must consider where you are going to place it.
Most of the fire pits in trex ads that show a fire pit are gas burning.
A fire resistant material is installed under the fire pit and a protective wall made of stone or other fire resistant material is installed to hold the fire pit in place and also to protect the decking from heat.
The fire pit is not installed on top of the trex decking.
