The Unity Hammered Copper Fire Pit by The Outdoor Plus comes in 48-, 60- and 72-inch diameters, each available at 18 or 24 inches high. Its circular burning area sits within a textured copper surround, allowing chairs to follow the curve of the body rather than align with the sides of a rectangular enclosure.
Choose diameter and height separately. Diameter determines the footprint, burning-area size and suggested media order. Height changes the relationship to your seating and propane-storage arrangement: the 18-inch version requires an external tank arrangement, while the 24-inch version includes an access door for propane tank storage.
Design & Construction
The hammered texture covers the copper surround and curved vertical body. Repeated indentations break up the exposed metal surface without changing the enclosure's circular outline, leaving the texture visible both around and below the recessed media bed.
Copper develops a patina through outdoor exposure. Choose it for a changing surface rather than a permanent match to one brown or metallic tone. A physical sample can help coordinate the starting palette with paving, timber and upholstery, but it cannot predict how every part of the enclosure will age in your setting. Allow for differences between units when specifying several together.
Based on the listed body and opening diameters, the surround measures approximately 11.5 inches from the opening to the outer edge on the 48- and 60-inch models and 14.5 inches on the 72-inch model. Moving from 60 to 72 inches therefore adds both a larger opening and a wider ring of exposed hammered copper.
The width of that surround does not establish how much surface is usable while the fire is lit. Keep drinks, serving pieces and other objects outside the manufacturer's required clearances, and provide separate tables where guests need convenient access during operation.
The 24-inch version raises the surround and burning area six inches above the lower model without changing the footprint. Compare both heights with your seat cushions and the view across the group. At a given diameter, the taller enclosure does not increase the listed burning-area size, burner input or suggested fire-glass quantity.
Sizes & Specifications
The 48-inch model lists 105,000 BTU. Both larger diameters list 165,000 BTU, so moving from 60 to 72 inches provides a larger enclosure and media bed, not a higher standard burner rating. The specifications below apply at either body height.
| Diameter | Available Heights | Burning-Area Diameter | Listed BTU Rating | Suggested Fire Glass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 in. | 18 or 24 in. | 25 in. | 105,000 | 52 lb |
| 60 in. | 18 or 24 in. | 37 in. | 165,000 | 113 lb |
| 72 in. | 18 or 24 in. | 43 in. | 165,000 | 152 lb |
Burning-area diameters describe the opening, not the burner diameter. Fire-glass quantities are suggested ordering amounts, not media-depth instructions. Follow the requirements for the selected burner and ignition system when placing media. Listed BTU ratings describe burner input, not a guaranteed heating area.
Ignition & Fuel Options
Choose a natural gas or liquid propane configuration to match the planned gas supply. Six ignition options are available:
- Match Lit: Light the burner manually without an electrical connection.
- Match Lit with Flame Sense: Manual lighting with flame monitoring that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out.
- Low Voltage Electronic: Electronic ignition requiring a suitable low-voltage power supply.
- Plug & Play: Electronic ignition that connects to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Spark Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition without a separate lighter.
- Fire Glow: Battery-powered spark ignition with flame monitoring and automatic gas shutoff.
For propane installations, resolve the external tank location and approved connection for the 18-inch version before completing the furniture layout. For the 24-inch version, confirm compatible cylinder dimensions and leave room to open the access door and change the tank without moving the fire pit.
Select the diameter, height and ignition system before completing gas lines, electrical work or surrounding paving. Have your installer confirm supply pressure, gas-line sizing and power requirements for the exact configuration. Keep controls and service access reachable after seating is in place.
Decorative Media & Accessories
The Unity includes a fire pan, burner, selected ignition configuration and lava rock. Optional fire glass changes the appearance of the circular media bed. Choose a color that works with a range of copper tones rather than one intended to match only the enclosure's initial finish.
Include the diameter-specific media order in the finished configuration cost. The catalog suggests 52 pounds of fire glass for the 48-inch model, 113 pounds for the 60-inch model and 152 pounds for the 72-inch model. Choosing the taller body does not change the suggested quantity for that diameter.
Catalog-listed upgrades include a Bullet Burner, canvas cover and stainless steel burner lid. Burner upgrades and lids are diameter-specific; canvas covers must match both diameter and height. Specify the 18- or 24-inch body height when ordering a cover rather than selecting by diameter alone.
If choosing the Bullet Burner upgrade, confirm its input and gas-supply requirements before installation. Do not apply the standard burner's listed rating to the upgraded assembly without checking its specifications.
Allow the unit to cool completely before fitting a lid or cover. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions before using copper polish, abrasive cleaners or protective treatments; products intended to restore bright, polished copper may not suit the supplied finish. Keep ventilation openings and the burner area free of debris.
Placement & Installation
The Unity is intended for outdoor use only. Have a qualified installer confirm the supporting surface, ventilation, gas connection, required clearances and any electrical work before the unit is positioned.
Mark out the full circular footprint together with the manufacturer's required clearances. Moving from 48 to 72 inches increases the enclosure from four to six feet across. Check the arrangement with people seated and preserve routes between chairs; the absence of corners does not reduce the required separation from the fire pit.
Check gates, steps and turns along the delivery route, particularly for the six-foot-diameter model. Confirm unloading and final-placement arrangements rather than assuming delivery includes installation. Protect the copper enclosure from tools and nearby construction work.
For hospitality projects, include the changing copper surface in material approvals and maintenance instructions so staff do not attempt to polish every unit to a uniform color. Establish who will light and shut down the fire pit, maintain access for cleaning, tank changes and service, and keep required circulation routes clear. Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local and commercial requirements.
