Why Use Weathering Steel?

The weather-resistant steel's rustic tones and textures make it a visual focal point, and its durability makes it a staple for outdoor structures. Weather-resistant steel is not only an aesthetically pleasing choice, it is also an aesthetic choice. It is a material with excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

One of the main advantages of weathering steel is that it develops a patina over time when exposed to the elements. Patina is a layer of rust that forms on the fire pit as a protective layer. This is a feature of weathering steel designed to develop relatively quickly and prevent further corrosion from occurring. Thanks to the patina, the fire pit never rusts deeper than the surface. Order a weatherproof steel fire pit with a blue/grey finish that develops a protective patina over time in its natural environment.

Wind, heat, rain, snow, whatever, weather-resistant steel can withstand it. Weather-resistant steel is designed as a material that can be used in all four seasons. In other words, you don't have to worry about moving the fire pit in and out of the garage after use or before winter.

There are a few things to note about weathering steel. First, you have to be careful with the surface you use under the fire pit as it can bleed patina.

Then you can speed up the patina process by following the patina guide below. With just a few simple ingredients (water, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, salt and white vinegar) you can get a seasoned patina in just a few hours.
