Modular Fire Pit Patios - Transform Your Backyard

DIYers, landscapers, and landscape architects now have a unique and innovative outdoor living item to quickly and affordably enhance their fire pit areas and outdoor living projects. The pre-made fire pit patio. Recently premiered at the backyard Living Expo, held in Orlando, FL, the response to pre-made fire pit patio was simply overwhelming.

Pre-made
fire pits, also known as “pre-cast” fire pits, are produced year-round indoors, under controlled conditions, to ensure the highest quality and consistent product strength.
Each pre-cast fire pit is 10-1/2 feet in diameter, 1-1/2 inches thick, made of reinforced 5,000 PSI concrete, and is cut into eight segments. The 8 segments fit onto one pallet. The standard pallet size is 48" x 48" and approximately 26 inches high. Estimated weight of the pre-made patios is 1550 lbs.

Fire Pit Patio Benefits:

1) Overall costs for these
patios will be lower than comparable “poured
in place” concrete patios.

2) Requires less labor and reduced skill levels.


3) Overall faster install time.


4) Can be installed in virtually any weather, year-round.


5) Does not require permits as with permanently installed concrete.
