Corten steel that weathers on purpose.
The Apollo Fire Pit is made from Corten steel, which develops a protective rust layer as it weathers, and that patina is the point rather than a fault. Once formed, the weathered surface prevents further corrosion, making the fire pit extremely durable for outdoor use. That also means no painting or sealing is needed, since the rust patina is self-protecting, and it withstands rain and weather without degrading. At 80cm across it makes a generous outdoor gathering point. It arrives fully assembled, ready to position in a garden or on a paved area.

Product Care
Iron Firepit Care & Maintenance
1. Before Use
- Choose the right location – place your firepit on a stable, non-flammable surface (stone, concrete, gravel).
- Avoid direct grass or decking use without a protective base.
- Apply a light coat of high-temperature oil (e.g., vegetable or mineral oil) to the bowl before the first burn to help slow rusting.
2. During Use
- Burn only seasoned hardwood for less smoke and reduced residue.
- Avoid overloading with excessive wood to protect the structure.
- Never use accelerants (petrol, lighter fluid) – they damage the finish and are unsafe.
3. After Use
- Allow the firepit to cool completely before handling.
- Remove ash and debris after every use – ash retains moisture and accelerates rust.
- Wipe down with a dry cloth; for stubborn residue, use a stiff brush.
4. Preventing Rust & Weather Damage
- Iron firepits will naturally develop a rust patina over time. This is normal and part of their character.
To extend life:
- Store under cover or use a waterproof firepit cover when not in use.
- Avoid leaving standing water inside the bowl.
- Reapply a thin layer of oil occasionally to help protect the surface.
5. Seasonal Care
- In wet or cold climates, store indoors or under shelter when not in use for long periods.
Key Tip: Rust on iron firepits is natural and doesn’t affect performance – many buyers value the rustic, weathered look. Proper cleaning and covering simply help extend its lifespan.
