Common Questions

Here are some top questions that I found for people considering buying a Sun Joe Cast Stone Fire Pit.

• chevron-circle-right Can this be used to surround an existing gas fire pit? Is it completely hollow under the bowl?   It would depend on the diameter of the existing fire pit. The inside diameter of the  Sun Joe Cast Stone Fire Pit is 26.25″ and yes it is completely hollow under the bowl.
• chevron-circle-right Does this fire pit come with any sort of cover to protect it from the rain so it doesn’t rust? Or is one available for purchase separately?   No a cover does not come with the fire pit.  You can buy a cover separately.
• chevron-circle-right Does it come with a screen?   Yes, it does come with a screen along with a long hook/poker to take it on and off when it is hot.  In the photo you can see the screen that it comes with.
