The Garden Treasures name covers more than one fire pit. The 35-inch round model described here matches Lowe’s listing for item 27404, model SRFP90B. Check the model on your unit before using these details. This is a review of the available product documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim that every Garden Treasures model has the same features.
Model and documented specifications
Lowe’s SRFP90B listing describes a black steel fire pit measuring 22 inches high and 35 inches wide and deep. At this check, the listing says the item is no longer sold on Lowes.com. That does not establish whether another seller has old stock or a used unit.
The listing and manual do not describe every accessory in exactly the same way. Use the parts list for your model and inspect what is actually supplied. A used unit may be missing a screen, grate, cover or hardware even when the seller shows a complete product photo.
Read the correct manual before assembly
The linked SRFP90B use and care guide identifies item 0027404. It gives an estimated 15-minute assembly time with no tools required. Treat that as an estimate, not a promise. Stop if parts are missing or damaged and obtain the correct replacements.
Do not substitute instructions from another Garden Treasures fire pit because it looks similar. Check the model identifier before following directions about the grate, sand, fuel load or assembly.
Fuel and placement
This model’s manual specifies charcoal and untreated wood. Follow its loading limits and preparation instructions rather than assuming any packaged fire log is suitable. Do not convert it to propane, natural gas or liquid fuel.
Use it outdoors only, away from combustible structures and surfaces. The manual prohibits use on wooden decks. Follow local fire restrictions and the greater applicable clearance. The U.S. Fire Administration advises at least 10 feet between outdoor fire pits and buildings or combustible materials.
Screen, storage cover and care
The spark screen and PVC storage cover serve different purposes. Keep the storage cover away from a burning or hot unit. Let the fire and coals go out and the unit cool completely before cleaning, moving or covering it. Supervise children and keep them away from hot equipment.
Inspect the bowl, legs and fittings before use. Rust, loose parts and damage are reasons to stop and assess the unit, not evidence of harmless aging. Follow the manual’s care directions and store it dry. A high-temperature finish does not justify a guarantee that the steel will never rust.
Is it worth buying used?
That depends on condition, completeness and the asking price. Inspect the actual unit rather than relying on old promotional photos or a seller’s claim that assembly is easy. Ask for the model label and manual, and check whether any missing part can be obtained before paying.
We cannot support the earlier claim that almost all reviews were positive, guarantee long service life or rank this among the best products without comparative testing. For planning the surrounding space, see our patio decorating ideas; seating and decoration must still respect the fire pit’s clearances.
