Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wait before covering a warm fire pit?
You must wait until the unit is completely cool to the touch before applying a fabric cover. Placing a synthetic material over a hot surface is like putting a plastic bag on a toaster: it will melt and fuse to the metal. For gas fire pits, ensure the fuel supply is turned off and the burner has reached ambient temperature. This usually takes at least one to two hours after the flames are extinguished.
What is the best way to clean a dirty cover?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water to scrub away bird droppings or tree sap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can strip away the waterproof coating and UV protection. Always allow the cover to air dry thoroughly before folding it for storage or placing it back on the fire pit. Never put a fire pit cover in a washing machine, as the agitation can destroy the internal liners.
