Handle on this size

Bent round-bar grab handles

Built for years

About the 36"

The 36" is the pit we sell most, and for good reason: it holds a fire big enough for a real circle of chairs while still fitting a normal backyard patio. If you are not sure which size to buy, this is almost always the right answer.

It comes with welded side handles as standard, so two people can reposition it seasonally without dragging it. Same 3/16" plate construction as the 30", scaled up with a taller wall for better burn control on windy nights.

This is a substantial steel fire pit, not a seasonal accessory. Between the 3/16" plate, the welded seam and the weight, it is designed to sit outside and be used hard for years.
