At the Garden Edge we are dedicated to fire safety which is evident in the design of our Chiminea fire pit with its great features

  • Front safety bars - No logs rolling out
  • Separate Ash Tray - No Heat transfer to log storage
  • Wooden handles on storage base- No heat transfer
  • Heat resistant Lockable Castors - No accidental rolling away
  • Heavy duty fully welded Steel construction - No warping, unstable fire.

We have taken great care in our design and manufacturing process to produce stable and safe fire pits, however when you purchase one of our beautiful fires please adhere to the following safety advise. The Garden Edge are not liable for any accidents which may occur due to circumstances beyond our control.

  • Place fire pit on level hard standing. (Not decking or dry lawn)
  • Do not place fire near or under overhanging trees or hedges.
  • Consider one of our metal screens for added protection. 
  • Never use Flammable liquids to light your fire pit.
  • Keep children supervised and away from the fire when lit and until cool.
  • Do not touch the Steel components until cool.
  • Only burn dry wood or charcoal in our fires
  • Do not place fire near to your furniture, home, outbuildings and oil tank.
  • Do not leave a fire unattended.
  • Watch out for sparks and wind direction - Avoid use in strong winds.
  • Keep a water source nearby and fully extinguish the fire before leaving it unattended.
  • Ensure the pit is fully cooled prior to covering or bringing indoors.
  • Be careful of loose flammable clothing.
  • Use fire safety gloves when possible.

MAINTAINANCE

Mild Steel will naturally form a rust patina in the outdoor environment. We recommend that an occasional rub oil like WD40 will enhance appearance.

The black version is finished with heat resistant powder coat however rust will eventually break through. To keep the product looking good we recommend that you spray paint any rusted areas each season with heat resistant paint.

Our fires are built to last many years, if not a lifetime and the only component  likely to wear may be the grates which are all removable and can be re-ordered.
