Once the fire pit is exposed to the elements it will form a layer of oxidation. The fire pits are made of 1/4 inch carbon steel. They are built to stand the test of time, The oxidation process begins with a more orange rust color then will darken overtime with a beautiful rustic, rich chocolate brown patina. This is a natural process that takes place. The more you burn in your fire pit the quicker it will darken. Tip: To speed up the process we have sprayed WD-40 on the fire pit when not in use. at the end of the day respect the rust. You have purchased quality fire pit made with heavy gauge steel this is the difference between our fire pits and a box store fire pit!
