FAQs
Can I use this fire pit on a wooden deck?
It is not recommended to place the fire pit directly on wooden decking as the high heat can scorch the wood. Use a heat-resistant, non-combustible mat beneath the unit.
What type of wood should I use?
Only use dry, seasoned firewood. Avoid burning treated wood, painted wood, or construction waste, as these can release toxic fumes.
Does the finish fade over time?
Like most powder-coated steel products, high heat can eventually affect the finish. Keeping it covered when not in use significantly slows this process.
How do I clean the ash out?
Once the fire pit has cooled for at least 24 hours, use a small shovel or scoop to remove the ash and dispose of it in a metal bin.
Is the cover waterproof?
The cover is designed to protect against rain and debris, but it should be kept snug to prevent water from pooling on top.
How long is the warranty?
The Grdn Living Aston Fire Pit comes with a 5-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Troubleshooting
The fire pit feels unstable.
Check that all leg-to-bowl bolts are fully tightened and verify that the surface is perfectly level.
Rust is forming on the interior bowl.
This is a natural process for steel. Remove loose rust with a wire brush and apply a high-temperature, heat-resistant matte black paint.
The spark guard is difficult to remove.
Ensure the handle is not obstructed. Always use heat-resistant gloves when removing the guard while the fire is lit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and requires basic tools to attach the legs to the main bowl. Ensure all bolts are tightened firmly to maintain stability. Compatibility is high for most garden spaces, but you must ensure the unit is placed on a level, fire-proof surface. To care for your fire pit, always wait for the unit to cool completely before removing ash. Because the finish can be compromised by moisture, clean off ash as soon as possible after use and use the provided fabric cover whenever the pit is not being used. If signs of rust appear, they can be touched up with high-temperature black spray paint to maintain the finish.
