Running black pipe for natural gas under the deck above ground

If I want to set up a pool heater...



...and run 1" black pipe from the basement to the outside, under the deck, above ground...



Generally no problem, with black pipe above ground, right?

I have an early 1950s house in the western USA with a raised foundation, and it has gas pipes above ground in the crawl-space.

But your only way to know for sure is to ask the local code authority.

There's quite a bit of it on rural Nebraska. I think the gas companies would lay it on the ground if there was a fenceline. They would bury it if there was no fence.

As long as it is properly supported.
