FAQ
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
FIRE PIT QUESTIONS
- What finish do fire pits come in?
A natural, patina finish that slowly darkens with time.
- Is any assembly required for the fire pits?
No assembly required. They are ready to use right out of the box!
- What is the lifespan of the fire pits?
The thick steel used will last many years depending on use and environment. Some bowls may take decades for rust to affect them.
- Will the Metal Fire Pit Get Hot?
Yes, the steel will get hot to the touch. This allows for the steel to absorb and radiate the heat. Please do not touch the fire pit when having fires.
- Will my surface be okay under the fire pit?
We highly recommend putting protection between the fire pit and your surface. Especially on a wood deck. The radiant heat from the bottom of the bowl could scorch your wooden surface such as a deck. Small embers may fall out of the drain hole on the bottom and cause loose grass to burn or leave marks in wood. Be careful to properly protect your surface with a fire mat, flagstone or pavers. Use your own judgement and be careful.
The washers at the bottom of the feet are made from Zinc. While these have a weather proof coating, you may still see some smudging on a smooth surface like concrete or stone. Adding a snuffer lid to your fire pit will greatly reduce any ash or embers falling through the drain hole in event of rain. The snuffer lid will keep your area around the fire pit much cleaner.
- What kind of weathering should I expect? Should I keep it covered?
With time and use, your fire pit will experience changes. All steel will oxidize, causing a surface rust. However, that will work to protect the steel and extend it’s life. Do not scrape off the oxidized layer on the snuffer lid or fire pit. The thickness of the steel will slow the rusting process and give you years of enjoyment. Some users choose to use a high temperature paint to coat the surface of the fire pit, but that will need to be done every year if you decide to go that route.
The fire pit will slowly get darker with time.
You do not need to keep it covered. A snuffer lid will help to keep outside moisture from damaging the inside of the fire pit.
- Can I upgrade to a larger size?
Yes, although a $25 cleaning fee will be charged.
- Can I return a fire pit?
Yes, we will gladly accept any returns. If the fire pit has already been burned in, then a cleaning fee will be applied. Evergreen Patio will not pay return shipping unless there has been a manufacturing defect.
