This is one of the most common questions we get — and the short answer is yes, you can use a gas fire table under a covered patio, but there are specific requirements around overhead clearance and ventilation that determine whether your setup qualifies. Get those right and a covered patio with a fire table […]
Most people ask “how many BTUs do I need?” and expect a simple number. The honest answer is: it depends almost entirely on what your gas line can actually deliver. Pick a burner that outpaces your supply and you’ll get a weak, inconsistent flame no matter what the spec sheet says. Get the supply right […]
Most people think of fire media as decoration — something to fill the burner area and make the flame look good. That’s part of it, but fire media is actually doing real functional work inside your fire table that affects how safe, clean, and consistent your flame is. Choosing the wrong type, or filling your […]
Most people don’t think about regret when they’re choosing a fire table. They think about how it’s going to look, where it’s going to sit, and how nice it’ll be to have people gathered around it. The regret usually shows up later — not because they chose something “bad,” but because they didn’t realize what […]
Most evenings don’t start around a fire table. They usually begin inside — finishing dinner, cleaning up, wrapping up the day. People are moving around, conversations are scattered, and no one is really settled in one place yet. Then at some point, someone steps outside. A chair gets pulled closer. Another person follows. Without much […]
You Can Tell the Difference in About 10 Seconds Most fire tables look similar in photos. Clean lines. Neutral colors. A flame in the middle. On a screen, they all check the same boxes. Then you see one in person. That’s where things start to separate. The first thing people notice isn’t the design — […]
We’ve hauled a lot of fire tables to the dumpster over the years — tables we didn’t make. Customers come to us after buying what was marketed as a “concrete fire table” online or at a big box store. A season or two later it’s cracked, chipped, or falling apart. They want something that actually […]
Before we start any build, there’s one decision that has to be made first: propane or natural gas. Unlike finish color or table size, fuel type isn’t something you change on a whim later — the burner, valve, and orifice are configured during construction based on which fuel the table will run on. So it’s […]
Trends move fast. Outdoor living spaces don’t. When it comes to concrete fire table design, we’ve learned that chasing what’s popular at the moment rarely leads to something that holds up over time. Outdoor fire features are meant to be lived with—used in every season, shared with friends and family, and relied on year after […]
If you’ve ever driven County Road K, in Oconomowoc you’ve probably passed our small commercial building without giving it much thought. It’s easy to miss — tucked along the road, quietly doing its job — but this little place has a story. The building at N68W33790 County Road K was originally constructed as a small, […]
