Keeping your grass safe while enjoying your round fire pit table is essential. Here's how to prevent grass burning:

Never Place Directly on Grass: This is the most important rule. The intense heat will damage or burn the grass, potentially causing a fire.

Use a Fire-Resistant Surface: Invest in a fire pit pad specifically designed for fire pits. These pads come in various materials like stone pavers, concrete slabs, or even metal fire rings.

Maintain Safe Distance: Always keep your fire pit table at a safe distance from flammable objects, including grass. Check your local fire codes for specific clearance requirements, but generally, a minimum of 10-25 feet from structures and vegetation is recommended.

Additional Tips:

• Elevated Fire Pit Table: If your fire pit table has a built-in base, ensure it elevates the fire pit high enough to prevent heat from reaching the grass.
• Avoid Windy Days: Strong winds can easily carry embers and ignite dry grass. Opt for using your fire pit table on calmer days.
• Keep Water Nearby: Always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher close by in case of emergencies.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your round fire pit table safely and ensure the health of your lawn.

It depends on the type of fire pit:

• Wood-burning fire pits: It's generally not safe to burn a wood-burning fire pit under a covered patio due to smoke build up, heat accumulation, and the risk of embers igniting flammable materials.
• Gas or propane fire pits: These can potentially be used under a covered patio, but with important safety considerations:

Here are some additional safety tips:

• Maintain a Safe Distance: Even with a gas fire pit, keep your fire pit at a safe distance from flammable objects like furniture, decorations, and walls.
• Ventilation: If possible, ensure some level of ventilation in your covered patio to help manage smoke and heat.

Remember: Safety is paramount. Always prioritize proper ventilation and clearance when using a gas fire pit under a covered patio, and adhere to local regulations and manufacturer instructions.

Yes, it's the safest way to extinguish a fire pit. Here's why:

• Safety: Letting the fire burn out naturally avoids using water, which can cause hot coals and embers to crackle and potentially spread.
• Efficiency: Water can turn hot coals to steam, making it harder to completely extinguish the fire.

Here's how to properly let your fire pit burn out:

• Stop adding fuel: Don't add any more wood or logs to the fire.
• Let it cool: Allow the fire to burn down until the coals are cool to the touch (no embers). This can take several hours.
• Check for embers: Use a metal tool to spread the ashes and double-check for any remaining hot embers.

Alternative (if necessary):

• Sand or Gravel: If you need to extinguish the fire faster, carefully pour sand or gravel over the coals to smother them. Never use water.

Remember: Always have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies. Check your local fire codes for any specific regulations on extinguishing fire pits.
