The Eaves Corten Steel Fire Pit by The Outdoor Plus combines a long, low profile with the earthy tones of weathering steel. Three lengths—48, 60 and 72 inches—let you carry the fire along a seating arrangement within a body just 10 inches wide and 10 inches high.
Choose Corten for a surface that changes with outdoor exposure rather than maintaining a uniform color. Its patina brings a different character from silver-toned stainless steel, but the choice also involves practical considerations. Account for surface residue and possible runoff when selecting nearby paving, furniture and the final installation location.
Design & Construction
The Eaves is individually handcrafted in the USA with a Corten steel body and a recessed linear burner. Straight sides give the fire feature a structured shape, while the weathered surface introduces variation in color and texture.
Corten develops an oxidized outer layer that helps protect the steel beneath it from further corrosion. This patina is part of the material's intended weathering process, not a painted rust effect. The Outdoor Plus describes the surface as progressing from brighter orange tones toward a darker mocha appearance over time.
That changing finish can complement brick, stone and planting without needing an exact color match. For a more architectural contrast, pair the weathered body with simple furniture frames and restrained upholstery. Expect variation across the surface rather than a consistent factory-applied color.
The patina doesn't make the complete fire feature maintenance-free. Burner and ignition care remain separate from the weathering of the body. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, and discuss any proposed coating or surface treatment with The Outdoor Plus before applying it.
Sizes & Specifications
All three sizes measure 10 inches wide and 10 inches high. Each 12-inch increase in overall length adds 12 inches to the listed burning-area length, while the opening remains 6 inches wide. Choose the length around your furniture arrangement, allowing space to move around both ends rather than matching the sofa length alone.
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Burning Area (L × W) | Listed BTU Rating | Suggested Fire Glass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48-inch | 48 × 10 × 10 in. | 44 × 6 in. | 140,000 | 28 lb |
| 60-inch | 60 × 10 × 10 in. | 56 × 6 in. | 165,000 | 36 lb |
| 72-inch | 72 × 10 × 10 in. | 68 × 6 in. | 175,000 | 43 lb |
Fire-glass quantities are suggested ordering amounts. Follow the instructions for your selected burner and ignition system when determining media depth and placement. Listed BTU ratings describe burner input, not a guaranteed heating area.
Ignition & Fuel Options
Choose a natural gas or liquid propane configuration to match your planned gas supply. Have your installer check supply capacity and gas-line sizing for the selected length, particularly when the supply also serves other outdoor appliances. Propane installations require an approved external tank location; the narrow body doesn't accommodate a propane tank.
Six ignition options are available:
- Match Lit: Light the burner manually without an electrical connection.
- Match Lit - Flame Sense [LC Certified]: Manual lighting with flame monitoring that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out.
- Low Voltage Electronic [CSA Certified]: Electronic ignition for installations with a suitable low-voltage power supply.
- Plug & Play Electronic [CSA Certified]: Electronic ignition that connects to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Spark Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition eliminates the need to light the burner with a separate lighter.
- Fire Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition with thermocouple-based flame monitoring and automatic gas shutoff.
Review the ignition choice with your installer before completing hardscape or electrical work. Leave an approach to the controls that doesn't require reaching over the burner. For a staffed lounge, establish how the unit will be started and shut down while guests are seated.
Decorative Media & Accessories
The Eaves includes a fire pan, burner, selected ignition system and lava rock. Optional fire glass changes the appearance of the narrow burner bed. Consider the media against both the lighter and darker tones the Corten surface may develop, rather than matching it only to the photograph.
Optional upgrades include a Bullet Burner, fitted canvas cover and stainless steel burner lid. The Corten steel, stainless steel and hammered copper Eaves versions share these catalog-listed upgrades, with separate parts for each length. Select accessories for the 48-, 60- or 72-inch model rather than estimating fit from the opening.
The slim surround isn't intended as a broad tabletop. Plan separate surfaces for drinks and serving pieces. Let the unit cool completely before fitting a lid or cover, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for protecting the burner and ignition components.
Placement & Installation
The Eaves is intended for outdoor use only. Before ordering, have a qualified installer review the supporting surface, gas supply, required clearances and any electrical requirements. Keep ventilation openings and service access unobstructed.
Plan for rust-colored runoff when selecting the supporting surface and surrounding paving. Water can carry residue from the weathered steel onto adjacent materials. Review drainage and surface compatibility before installation, especially with pale or porous paving, rather than assuming any staining will be easy to remove.
The surface can also transfer residue through contact. Avoid locations where guests or cushions will regularly brush against the body, and don't use it as seating. For hospitality projects, include these characteristics in the material review and housekeeping plan rather than treating the patina as a purely visual choice.
Position the low body within a defined seating arrangement, not across a natural walking route. Its 10-inch width doesn't replace the required clearances around the flame. Preserve comfortable access around both ends and check the layout with seats occupied.
Check gates, steps and turns along the delivery route, especially for the six-foot model. Confirm unloading arrangements and how the fire pit will reach its final location; don't assume delivery includes placement. Plan handling that protects clothing and surrounding finishes from surface residue.
Resolve gas and electrical routes before hardscape is completed, with access for operation and service. Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions for the selected size and ignition system, along with applicable local requirements. Confirm any additional commercial requirements with the installer and local authority.
