Installation Requirements
Clear area of all combustible materials and vegitation for at least 3 times the diameter of the fire pit. Clear overhead and surrounding vegiation and other flammable material back for a distance of 25 feet or more. The apron around the pit can be constructed of brick, rock or concrete. However, caution should be used when using concrete, it could explode and cause flying debris. The interior wall of the fire pit can be metal, rock or brick, (again, concrete should be avoided if possible).
Sand expansion joins should be used to facilitate heat transfer (see attached diagram - Fire Pit Section Drawing). The dept of the fire pit should be at least 18" deep. All roots and other combustible material should be removed from under ground for at least 12" wider and deeper than fire ring. Gravel or aggreate should be put in the bottom at least 2" to 6" deep. A screen or grate is also recommended to cover the top of the fire pit to help reduce the possibility of sparks or embers.
