Questions We Get a Lot
Corten steel is an alloy designed to develop a stable, rust-like patina over time that actually protects the metal beneath from further corrosion. This makes it well-suited for outdoor fireplaces that live outside year-round without needing paint or coating touch-ups. The finish evolves naturally with exposure to the elements, giving it a distinctive, organic look that complements modern outdoor spaces.
Most freestanding outdoor fireplaces require a non-combustible surface or a proper heat barrier beneath them when placed near wood or composite decking. We recommend checking local fire codes and following the clearance guidelines included with each fireplace. If you have questions about a specific model and your setup, our team is happy to help you find the right fit.
A chimenea features an enclosed fire chamber with a narrow chimney stack that directs smoke upward, making it a great option for smaller patios where smoke control matters. Traditional open outdoor fireplaces typically offer a larger fire bed and a more open, campfire-style experience suited to bigger entertaining areas. Both styles are represented in our collection, so the right choice largely depends on your space and how you plan to use it.
We offer free shipping on most orders within the Continental U.S. (excludes AK/HI), and large items like outdoor fireplaces are typically delivered via freight carrier with scheduled delivery coordination.
