The Quad GFRC Fire Pit by The Outdoor Plus combines a low, square concrete body with a broad, recessed burning area. Available in 36- and 42-inch sizes, both models stand 12 inches high, keeping the surround below the height of most outdoor coffee tables.
The square footprint suits lounge chairs grouped around a central point or seating arranged within an L-shaped sectional. Unlike a linear fire pit, the Quad doesn't establish one long side as the main viewing direction. Choose the size around the space between occupied seats, allowing for the larger model's added depth as well as width.
Design & Construction
The Quad is handcrafted in the USA from glass fiber reinforced concrete, or GFRC. Glass fibers reinforce the body, while straight sides and a narrow surround give the design a simple, geometric profile.
Choose from solid, metallic and rustic finishes to coordinate with paving and furnishings. A contrasting finish helps distinguish the low body from the surface beneath it, while a closer color pairing creates a quieter composition. Consider the view from inside the house as well as from the surrounding seats.
Slight variations in color and texture are part of the handmade finish. A physical sample is useful when coordinating with stone, concrete or upholstery, since screen images may not show the color accurately.
The recessed opening occupies most of the top, leaving a narrow border rather than a broad tabletop. Plan separate surfaces for drinks and other items, and keep anything placed near the fire outside the manufacturer's required clearances.
Sizes & Specifications
Both sizes have a listed 165,000 BTU rating and a 12-inch body height. Moving from the 36-inch model to the 42-inch model increases the burning area from 32 × 32 inches to 38 × 38 inches. Choose the larger version for its proportions within the seating group and broader media bed, not for a higher listed heat input.
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Burning Area (L × W) | Listed BTU Rating | Suggested Fire Glass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36-inch | 36 × 36 × 12 in. | 32 × 32 in. | 165,000 | 107 lb |
| 42-inch | 42 × 42 × 12 in. | 38 × 38 in. | 165,000 | 151 lb |
Burning-area dimensions describe the recessed opening, not the extent of the flame pattern. 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. Despite its low profile, the Quad has a substantial listed gas input. Have your installer confirm supply capacity and gas-line sizing rather than assuming an existing patio connection will be sufficient.
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 finalizing power connections, the gas-line route and control access. For propane installations, plan an approved tank location rather than assuming the 12-inch body provides tank storage.
Because seating may approach the Quad from several sides, leave a clear route to the controls. In a staffed lounge, establish how the unit will be started and shut down without moving chairs or reaching across the burning area.
Decorative Media & Accessories
The Quad includes a fire pan, burner, selected ignition system and lava rock. Optional fire glass changes the color and texture of the burner bed. With a broad opening and narrow surround, the media is a prominent part of the design rather than a small accent.
Include the media quantity in your size comparison if you're choosing fire glass. The suggested amount rises from 107 pounds for the 36-inch model to 151 pounds for the 42-inch model, which affects the cost of the finished configuration.
Optional accessories include a Bullet Burner upgrade, glass wind guard, stainless steel burner lid and fitted canvas cover. Each size has its own catalog-listed accessories, so select them for the 36- or 42-inch model rather than estimating fit from the burning-area dimensions.
Let the unit cool completely before fitting a lid or cover. Use only breathable cover material as directed by The Outdoor Plus. Plastic and other non-breathable materials can stick to the finish.
Placement & Installation
The Quad 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.
Position the low body within a defined seating group rather than where people would naturally walk across the space. Allow room around the square corners and check the layout with chairs pulled out or occupied. The fire pit's footprint doesn't include the clearances required around the flame.
Check gates, steps and turns along the delivery route, accounting for the full width of the selected model. Confirm unloading arrangements and how the unit will reach its final location; don't assume delivery includes placement.
For designers and hospitality teams, review the approach from every open side of the lounge. Preserve required circulation routes independently of the seating group, 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.
