Know before you buy
No, the iron oxide patina is a natural finish designed to weather and darken over time. It requires no maintenance, painting, or sealing, as the rust layer actually protects the steel from further corrosion.
The fire pit features an integrated 1.5-inch drainage hole at the bottom of the bowl. This allows rainwater to pass through easily, preventing water from pooling and making it simpler to clear out ash after use.
Due to its significant weight, this fire pit requires a solid, level surface such as a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck. We recommend confirming your surface can support 700 pounds before placing the unit.
Yes, the heavy-duty 1/4-inch carbon steel construction is designed to withstand the elements throughout all four seasons. The material is extremely durable and will continue to develop its rich, mahogany-toned patina when exposed to outdoor conditions.
The fire pit arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Because it weighs 700 pounds, you will need to coordinate with the delivery team to ensure it is placed exactly where you want it, as moving it afterward will be difficult.
