Corten steel fire pits

Corten steel – created for fire, heat and weather

Corten steel is particularly well suited for fire pits. When exposed to outdoor conditions, the steel develops a rust-coloured patina that both protects the material and creates a warm, living expression. The patina acts as a natural barrier against corrosion, making the fire pit extremely durable – even with frequent use.

Over time, the surface colour will continue to evolve, creating a unique appearance that blends naturally into the garden and harmonises with plants, wood and stone.

A natural focal point in the garden

The fire pit functions as both a visual and social centre in outdoor spaces. Placed on a terrace, in the garden or in a dedicated fire area, it sets the scene for cosy evenings where the flames naturally draw people together.

Combine the fire pit with benches or chairs to create a relaxed seating area where the warmth can be enjoyed on cooler evenings – throughout the year.

Practical tips for lighting the fire

To achieve a stable and even fire, we recommend building the fire with airflow in mind:

Start with larger pieces of wood at the base to allow free air circulation
Place smaller pieces of wood on top to create a stable fire structure
Light the fire using dry kindling and allow it to develop naturally
Add larger logs once a solid bed of embers has formed

It is always advisable to keep water or a fire blanket nearby as an added safety measure.

Safety and correct placement

Before lighting the fire, the fire pit should be placed on a stable, fire-resistant surface – such as paving, gravel or concrete. Ensure sufficient distance from buildings, wooden structures and other combustible materials.

Our fire pits are equipped with a drainage hole in the base, ensuring that rainwater is led away and the fire pit is ready for use whenever needed.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The fire pits are designed for year-round outdoor use and can remain outside throughout the year. Corten steel withstands rain, frost and snow.

Does a corten steel fire pit require maintenance?
No. Corten steel is maintenance-free. The natural patina protects the material and requires no treatment.

Does the fire pit become very hot on the outside?
Yes. The surface becomes hot during use. Keep a safe distance and ensure that children and pets do not come too close during and shortly after use.

Which size fire pit should I choose?
The choice depends on how many people typically gather around the fire. Smaller fire pits are ideal for intimate settings, while larger models are well suited for families and social gatherings.
