Know before you buy
Because this kit weighs 1,300 pounds, it must be placed on a level, non-combustible surface like a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a compacted gravel base. Do not install it directly on a wooden deck or grass without a proper heat-resistant barrier.
Yes, the 11-gauge steel insert is essential. It protects the stone blocks from direct contact with the fire, which prevents the stone from cracking or discoloring over time due to extreme heat.
Most homeowners can complete the assembly in a single weekend. Since the kit uses tumbled stone blocks, the process is straightforward, though you will need a few people to help move the heavy materials into place.
We do not recommend placing this fire pit directly on a wood deck. The intense heat generated by a wood-burning fire can damage the decking material or pose a significant fire hazard; it is best suited for stone or concrete surfaces.
The kit includes the tumbled stone blocks and the steel insert. You will need to provide basic tools, such as a level and potentially construction adhesive, to ensure the blocks remain secure and aligned.
The base kit stands 12 inches tall. Adding the optional capstones increases the total height to between 14 and 16 inches, which provides a more finished look and a slightly more comfortable ledge for sitting nearby.
