Realglow Glassport Rattan Table Gas Fire Pit (Black, 76cm x 61cm)

What size gas cylinder does this fire pit require?

This fire pit accepts standard 5kg patio or leisure gas cylinders, which are widely available at garden centres and DIY stores. The cylinder is not included with the fire pit. A 5kg cylinder typically provides several hours of operation on full heat, or longer periods on lower settings. The included 27mm clip-on regulator connects securely to standard UK gas cylinders.

How much heat does the 13KW output actually provide?

The 13KW output equals approximately 43,000 BTUs, which effectively heats outdoor areas up to 64 square feet. This is sufficient to warm a typical patio seating area for 4-6 people. On full power, you'll feel significant warmth within a 3-4 metre radius. The heat output is adjustable, so you can reduce it for milder evenings or increase for colder conditions.

Is assembly required and how difficult is it?

Yes, some assembly is required, but customers consistently report it's straightforward and takes around 30-60 minutes. The package includes the necessary screwdriver and clear instructions. Most components simply slot together, with minimal screwing required. The main assembly involves attaching the base, fitting the rattan panels and installing the gas components. No special tools or technical expertise needed.

Can this fire pit be left outside all year round?

The fire pit features powder-coated finish for weather resistance and includes a weatherproof cover for protection when not in use. However, like most outdoor furniture, bringing it under cover during harsh winter weather will extend its lifespan. The cover protects against rain, snow and UV damage. If left outside permanently, regular maintenance and cleaning will help preserve its appearance and functionality.

What's included in the box besides the fire pit itself?

The complete package includes the fire pit unit, glass rocks for authentic flame appearance, weatherproof black cover, 27mm clip-on regulator for gas connection, windshield for flame protection and assembly hardware with screwdriver. This comprehensive kit means you only need to purchase a 5kg gas cylinder to start using the fire pit immediately. No additional accessories required for basic operation.

How stable is the unit and will the door stay closed?

The fire pit has a stable rectangular base measuring 76cm x 76cm, providing good stability on level surfaces. However, some customers report issues with the access door not staying securely closed due to the screw-type catch design. This doesn't affect operation but may require occasional adjustment. The door is used for accessing the gas controls and can be secured with additional ties if needed.

Does this produce real flames or just heat?

This produces genuine dancing flames that create authentic fire ambiance, not just radiant heat. The gas burner system creates realistic flame patterns that dance and flicker like a traditional fire. The included glass rocks enhance the flame appearance and help distribute heat evenly. The flames are visible through the windshield and provide both warmth and attractive lighting for evening gatherings.

What are the exact dimensions and weight for transport?

The assembled fire pit measures 76cm wide x 76cm deep x 61cm high, with a total weight of 5kg making it easily portable. The package dimensions are also 76cm x 76cm x 61cm. This compact size fits comfortably on most patios whilst the light weight allows one person to move it easily. The rectangular shape provides maximum heating area whilst maintaining a manageable footprint for smaller outdoor spaces.
