Installing a wood-fired pizza oven starts with one key decision: what will it sit on? The base of your oven isn’t just about looks. It affects everything from cooking comfort to heat retention, safety and airflow.
At Jalando Pizza Ovens, customers around Australia have taken different approaches depending on their space, skill level and how they want their outdoor area to function. Some go with a ready-made stand. Others build a custom bench. Either option works well, but there are a few things worth knowing before you decide.
The simplest and most popular choice is the Jalando powder-coated steel stand, available for ovens like the Fiamo, JA60, and JA70 models. These stands are made to suit the size and weight of specific ovens, with reinforced steel construction and optional wheels for mobility.
There are two main stand designs:
Each stand is powder-coated in black for durability and outdoor use. Wheels can be added, allowing you to reposition the oven more easily during setup or cleaning.
If you prefer a lower shelf for storage, or want to keep wood, tools or kindling nearby, the Square Stand offers extra practicality. It’s a great option for renters or anyone looking for a freestanding setup that doesn’t require permanent installation.
For customers designing a more integrated outdoor space, mounting the oven on a bench or countertop is another option. This gives a seamless, built-in look and allows the oven to become part of a larger entertaining area.
Jalando offers benchtop legs for this exact purpose. These adjustable legs:
Benchtop mounting is popular for customers who are building in stone, concrete or tiled surfaces. It also suits those who want the oven aligned with cabinetry, prep space or a nearby BBQ. A granite bench is featured in some JA70 installations and gives a premium finish without compromising heat safety or structural support.
Some Jalando customers choose to build their own benches using besser blocks, steel frames or reinforced concrete. This is common for homeowners designing a full outdoor kitchen. As long as the materials are non-combustible and can handle the oven’s weight, this approach works well.
If you go this route, a few things matter:
You can still use the benchtop legs in this kind of setup, adding a professional touch and giving the oven some breathing space.
There are a few things to avoid when choosing or building your pizza oven base:
A full JA60 or JA70 oven is heavy and retains heat long after cooking, so it needs to rest on something solid, durable and fire-safe.
Every outdoor space is different, and there’s no single correct way to set up your Jalando oven. What matters is that the base you choose is safe, stable, and suits the way you like to cook.
Some customers want mobility and go for a wheeled stand. Others want a permanent bench with a tiled finish. And some get hands-on and build their own. Whatever direction you take, Jalando offers the stands, legs and advice to support it properly.
