This modern styled DeZen Firepit will add a peaceful ambiance to your outdoor space. The combination of the weathered steel and the clean, geometric style creates a sophisticated, modern presence. This Firepit is hand crafted of Cor-Ten Steel and has a natural rust patina finish. The solid construction, angled walls, and bowl drain plug makes it easy to clean and able to withstand any environment. The DeZen Fire Pit is constructed with 11 Gauge Cor-Ten Steel for maximum durability and rustic antique appearance. Cor-Ten, also known as Weathering Steel, is a steel alloy which was developed to eliminate the need for painting and form a stable rust-like appearance when exposed to the weather. The overall dimensions of the Fire Pit are 30” square x 20” tall. The Fire Pit has a clean out vent at the bottom of the bowl. No assembly is required. The Fire Pit can be ordered with or without a Natural/Propane Gas burner kit. A stainless steel perforated grate is available for glass media or lava rocks.
Weathering steel, best-known under the trademark COR-TEN steel and sometimes written without the hyphen as "Corten steel", is a group of steel alloys which were developed to eliminate the need for painting, and form a stable rust-like appearance if exposed to the weather for several years.
"Weathering" means that due to their chemical compositions, these steels exhibit increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion compared to other steels. This is because the steel forms a protective layer on its surface under the influence of the weather.
The corrosion-retarding effect of the protective layer is produced by the particular distribution and concentration of alloying elements in it. The layer protecting the surface develops and regenerates continuously when subjected to the influence of the weather. In other words, the steel is allowed to rust in order to form the 'protective' coating.
