Corten Steel Fire Pits

About

Corten steel is the alloy that rusts on purpose. The surface weathers to a deep orange-brown, and that layer then seals the metal underneath instead of eating into it the way ordinary rust does. It is why corten turns up so often in modern landscape design: the finish changes over the first year or two and then holds. There are 55 pits here, 46 of them from Fire Pit Art, from $1,331. Twenty-six burn wood and the rest run on gas, and most are round. Everything ships free to the lower 48 states.
