At 120cm diameter this is by far the largest fire pit in our range, and being made from 5mm gauge mild steel, it's also the heaviest.

PLANETARIUM REQUIRES SERIOUS CARE AT ALL TIMES if the following sounds obvious, please forgive us, but we must impress upon any user what it means to take delivery and operate this product. Firstly, it is extremely heavy, and requires at least 4 people of good strength and health to relocate the fire pit at the point of delivery and thereafter. The fire pit itself has an immense capacity, and the amount of wood you use on first starting the fire is very important. We advise you start low and build the fire up after ignition, so as to maintain the flames at a manageable level. Please do take care

GRACEGUL AGEING it won't take long for the fire pit to oxidise. The steel is so thick that it has absolutely no impact on the fire pits long term durability, so simply leave it outside and enjoy it when you come to use it. Some customers like the oxidised appearance, others prefer to periodically apply a black stove paint to give the fire pit a more "polished" appearance
