FAQ
No assembly is required. The fire pit arrives fully welded and is ready to use as soon as it is placed in your desired location. No tools or hardware are needed.
The patina – or rust-like surface – is a natural and intentional characteristic of Corten weathering steel. When exposed to moisture, the steel develops an outer layer of oxidation that acts as a protective barrier, sealing the metal from further corrosion. After the initial reactive period, the steel cures and self-seals, resulting in very little to no carbon run-off. This is not a defect; it is a feature that gives Corten steel its legendary durability and distinctive look.
During the initial weathering period, Corten steel can produce carbon run-off that may stain adjacent surfaces like stone or concrete. This is temporary and can be cleaned using a carbon pacifier. Once the steel has fully cured and self-sealed, staining is no longer a concern. Placing the fire pit on a surface you are comfortable with during the curing period is recommended.
Yes. This fire pit can be retro-fitted for gas burners, making it a flexible long-term option for your outdoor space. Contact us for more details on gas conversion compatibility and available retrofit options.
This fire pit ships via FedEx Freight at no charge to the contiguous United States (Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico are excluded). Delivery is curb-side only – FedEx will call ahead to arrange a delivery time, and you will need to be present to accept the shipment. Arrangements to move the fire pit from the curb to your desired location will need to be made separately by the customer.

This reflects MK Design Elements’ confidence in their commercial-grade craftsmanship and ensures you’re protected against structural failure for the life of the product.
