Know before you buy
No, the iron oxide patina is designed to be maintenance-free. It is a natural finish that deepens in color over time and will not rust through, as the 1/4-inch thick steel is built to withstand the elements indefinitely.
The fire pit is equipped with an integrated rain drain at the bottom, which allows water to pass through rather than pooling inside the bowl. This helps prevent corrosion and keeps the interior cleaner between uses.
Yes, weighing in at 165 lbs, this fire pit is substantial and stable. Its robust construction and wide base ensure it will remain securely in place on your patio or lawn.
We do not recommend placing this wood-burning fire pit directly on a wooden deck or composite surface. Because the bottom can get extremely hot, it should be placed on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or brick.
The interior is coated to provide an extra layer of protection against the intense heat of the fire. This coating helps preserve the integrity of the steel bowl and ensures the fire pit remains durable through many seasons of use.
The fire pit arrives as a single, solid piece of artisan-crafted steel. There is no assembly required; simply place it in your desired location and it is ready for your first fire.
