As we sit around a warm, radiant fire, engaged in conversation that extends well into the night, we may realize that our garden is incomplete without a fire pit.
However, finding the perfect fire pit can be challenging, as it should be sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, portable, and safe for our loved ones.
Our preferred option, which fulfils all these criteria, is the Corten Steel Fire Pit.

To help, we will present the top 5 reasons why we believe a Corten fire pit is your ultimate choice.

 

1. Corten weathering steel is anti-corrosive
Corten weathering steel has anti-corrosive properties that gives it an advantage over other structural steels. The naturally occurring rust that it develops helps to lengthen the lifecycle of a weathering steel structure, which in turn keeps costs to a minimum.

The protective layer of rust that Corten weathering steel develops when exposed to moisture and oxygen reduces the need for paint. This helps to avoid some of the issues and potential for damage created by volatile organic compounds found in certain paints.

2. Corten Steel Requires No Maintenance

Corten steel fire pits develop a stable oxidation layer when exposed to various weather conditions that serve as an excellent protective coating, preventing the steel from rusting through.

By taking good care of your fire pit, you can ensure it stays in perfect condition for an extended period without requiring frequent replacements.

The rusting process for corten steel fire pits typically takes around 2-4 months, which is relatively fast compared to other materials. During this time, the fire pit develops a desirable patina that enhances its aesthetic appeal.
 

3. Corten Weathering Steel has an attractive appearance
The strength and durability associated with Corten B makes it ideal for use in heavy and load bearing structures.
The protective rust that Corten weathering steel develops has a distinctive reddish-brown appearance that is particularly popular among architects and design engineers. It is often used in artistic, outdoor structures and contemporary applications.

4. Lightweight And Durable

Corten steel is very strong and lightweight. It is usually made in sheets that are ¼" thick, which adds to its light weight.
Corten steel is a very strong material with remarkable structural strength, even though it is lightweight. Because of its exceptional durability, it is a widely used building material.

 

5. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
100% Recyclable Material: fully recyclable at end of life, no chemical coatings to contaminate, LEED green building certification.
