Know before you buy
At 60 lbs, the boulder is substantial enough to remain stable on most patios or garden surfaces. Because it is a freestanding unit, it does not require permanent mounting, but its weight is sufficient to prevent movement in typical outdoor conditions.
No professional installation is required. The boulder comes as a complete kit with the necessary propane fittings and an electronic ignition system, making it a straightforward setup for most homeowners.
No, this model is specifically engineered for propane use only. It is not compatible with natural gas lines.
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is specifically chosen for its durability and weather resistance. It is designed to withstand the elements year-round without cracking or deteriorating like traditional stone or inferior concrete mixes.
Yes, the flame is adjustable to suit your preference for ambiance. The unit provides a robust 40,000 BTU output, which is plenty of heat to keep a small seating area comfortable during cool evenings.
The product includes the fire ring and necessary fittings for operation, but it does not come with a protective cover. We recommend purchasing a standard cover to keep debris out of the burner and extend the life of the ignition system.
