The Quad Hammered Copper Fire Pit by The Outdoor Plus combines a textured metal body with a low, square profile. Available in 36- and 42-inch sizes, both models stand 12 inches high, making the copper surround and recessed burner bed visible from the seats around it.
Choose this version when the fire feature should contribute texture even when it isn't lit. The hammered surface adds detail without changing the simple geometric form, while copper's developing patina means its color won't remain fixed. Consider it as an evolving material rather than an exact match to another metal finish.
Design & Construction
The Quad is individually handcrafted in the USA with a hammered patina copper body. Repeated indentations add detail across the sides and top, while the square outline provides a structured focal point for lounge chairs or sectional seating.
Copper develops a patina through exposure to its surroundings. The Outdoor Plus notes that the material can develop blue-green tones over time when exposed to natural elements. Timing and appearance depend on environmental conditions, so don't expect every part of the body to weather uniformly.
Assess the hammered surround alongside the decorative media as well as the surrounding furniture. Simpler upholstery and frames let the metal texture stand out, while patterned stone or woven seating create a more layered combination. Check the view from inside the house too, where the fire pit may be seen more often unlit.
Slight variations in color and texture are part of the handmade finish. A physical sample can help establish the starting palette, but it won't predict every stage of outdoor weathering. Confirm the manufacturer's care instructions before using cleaners, metal polish or protective treatments. Products intended for bright, polished copper may not suit the supplied patina finish.
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. Have your installer confirm supply capacity and gas-line sizing, especially when the supply also serves a grill or other outdoor appliances. Plan an approved external tank location for propane rather than assuming the low body provides tank storage.
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 surrounding hardscape or electrical work. Preserve an approach to the controls even when chairs are occupied. For a staffed lounge, establish how the fire pit will be started and shut down without moving furniture 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 appearance of the broad burner bed. Choose a media color that works with a range of copper tones rather than one intended to match only the initial finish.
Account for the media order when comparing sizes. The suggested fire-glass amount rises from 107 pounds for the 36-inch model to 151 pounds for the 42-inch model, affecting 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. Select them for the 36- or 42-inch model rather than estimating fit from the overall body or burning-area dimensions.
Plan separate surfaces for drinks and serving pieces rather than treating the surround as unrestricted tabletop space. Let the unit cool completely before fitting a lid or cover, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for protecting the finish, burner and ignition components.
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.
Choose the size around the space between occupied seats. The larger model adds depth as well as width, bringing its edges closer to furniture on every side. Check the square corners and routes into the group with chairs pulled out, allowing for the required clearances around the flame.
Position the low body within a defined seating arrangement rather than across a natural walking route. Preserve comfortable access around the group instead of relying on the gap between the fire pit and occupied seating.
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. Protect the finished body from contact with tools and surrounding construction during installation.
For designers and hospitality teams, include copper's changing appearance in the material approval and maintenance plan. Allow for variation if several units are specified together, and provide the manufacturer's finish-care instructions to the maintenance team so routine cleaning doesn't unintentionally alter the surface.
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.
