Metal Fire Pits

Make a Statement With a Metal Fire Pit

These fire pits are specifically designed to hold up against harsh outdoor weather and direct flame exposure, year after year - without losing their shape or finish. The two most popular types of metal a fire pit can be made from are powder-coated steel and corten steel.

• Powder-coated models come in a range of colors and finishes to match any patio design.  
• Corten develops this gorgeous rust-orange patina as they age over time. It looks natural and unique, and it actually protects the surface underneath the patina too.

Either way, you can choose from an assortment of shapes and sizes to match your vision. A round fire pit for conversational settings, a square fire pit for angular, modern layouts, or even a rectangle fire pit for longer patios and dining areas. 

Every model we carry is gas-fired (propane or natural gas options available) so you never have to deal with the hassle of managing firewood, cleaning up ash, or dodging smoke while you try to relax with your loved ones.

Frequently asked questions

Are metal fire pits good?

Yes - metal is the go-to material for manufactured outdoor fire pits because it handles high heat without cracking and comes in more shapes and finishes than stone or concrete. It holds up across all climates with minimal upkeep.

Can metal fire pits be left outside?

Yep, that’s the whole point! Powder-coated steel and corten are both specifically chosen because they can be left outdoors permanently. It’s still best to cover your fire pit when not in use, especially during the off-season. 

Do you need to put anything under a metal fire pit?

Usually no. The base of a gas-fired model is almost always insulated, so it can go right on your patio surface. You might want a heat-resistant pad placed underneath if you run the unit all the time at high heat, but this is not required. 

What do you put in the bottom of a metal fire pit?

Go with either fire glass for a modern look or lava rock for something more traditional and understated. We carry both types of fire pit media here at Royal Fire Pits. 

How long will a metal fire pit last?

Powder-coated steel holds up for years with a little TLC. Corten lasts even longer since the patina protects the metal itself. Just cover up your unit when it’s not being used, and clean the burner every so often. That’s really all there is to it. 

Can you pour water in a metal fire pit?

No - this could damage gas valves and ignition components. That’s why we always recommend covering your unit if a storm is brewing,
