Would this protect a deck under a fire pit table?

I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as the size is suitable to go under the fire pit table. It should probably stick out a few inches all around so that it will catch sparks, etc. But, are you sure you want to put a fire pit on your deck......especially if it's a wood deck?

I would think it could work....but I would check the dimensions. The grill pad is not terribly large. Also...I am thinking that the fire pit table is circular while my grill pad is a rectangular shape...but perhaps that is a small aesthetic issue. Good luck

I don't really know but I would be real hesitant to locate any fire pit on a deck.

Wood burning fire pits put out a LOT of heat below. The safety will depend on the distance from the fire pit to the deck. You might be ok if you also add in some kind of a heat brick between the pad and your fire pit. Your best bet would be if you could get a 2'x2' patio brick and then elevate it an inch or two under the corners. That should absorb most of the heat from the fire pit. Truthfully though, I personally still wouldn't risk it. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm looking at propane fire pits. Pricey, but a lot safer for decks. I know my township will not issue a burn permit for a wood firepit on any deck. Wood burning fire pits put out a LOT of heat below.

We are using ours under a chiminea on a wood deck. Size wight be your only consideration.

Hi George, the best answer we can come with is probably. The main thing would be the size of the pit. When you use this under a grill, the charcoal tray/gas jets are probably 24 inches above the pad. A fire pit would be a bit closer. You might contact the company for a definitive answer. Sorry I can't be more decisive about this. I would,hate to have you with a mmelted mess or fire on your deck!

I am not sure as I have not left it outside. If I had to venture a guess, which is only a guess, I would say it should. It's petty sturdy and the table also. Good luck.

I keep my table on a side patio covered with a tarp. I have noticed some slight corrosion on the chrome legs.

Hi. It says to not set on a combustible surface. There is about a 5 inch gap between the bottom of the pit and the ground. I don't think it gets very hot underneath but I would probably put something on top of your table just to be safe.

I purchased this for a temporary fire pit; portability. It was worth it for that. I bought a cover for the propane tank. If you are using this on a deck, you will be able to hide everything.

I doube it very much, unless your fire pit is very small. This cover is quite long, and doube it could be fitted over something not entirely square.

I would put something like a baker's sheet under it and it may still scorch the wood. I have mine on a little steel mesh table.

If you use this item on a wooden deck or other combustible surface, or any surface not entirely resistant to high heat, you must use a non-flammable, heat-resistant material such as concrete pavers, brick or stone between Fire Pit and surface

Yes, this fire pit can be used on a wood deck - you're right, some fire pits should not be used on or near combustible decking; however this unit is safe to use.

Sounds like it will work. The underside has felt on it so it won't mar your table.

Depends how big and thick but cottonwoods are very brittle. We actually attached ours under deck as we have no large, substantial trees.

No, not unless you have some type of heat shield that you can put under the fire pit. The pit gets very hot and will damage the wood under it.

Certainly the manufacturer should answer this question. But my take on this is that under a deck should be ok. All metal parts have a heavy coating of paint. The pullies are nylon, the ropes synthetic and the nuts and bolts cadmium plated. Possibly the bolts will rust over time, but that shouldn't interfere with the operation of the hoist. So I think this can work for you under a deck.

A trex deck should be fire safe. Please check your deck manufacturers safety information.

I don't know what would be used to waterproof this table....but suggest asking a professional painter.....perhaps something used to water proof decks would work. If so, I would apply 3+ coats before putting the table outside. Also when you ask the professional painter be sure to also ask if whatever is suggested resists sun damage.

I would think that it could. You would need to fasten it down for wind with something--nails? And if your deck is like mine it has space between the boards that might let misquitos come up from underneath.

I did not because I use it on a covered deck;however, I would suggest covering it if you use it out in the open. it is a fabulous grill, so you will want to protect it. I would guess that a tradition inexpensive cover will work. You will want to use the ties to tie it around the legs, or the wind will whisk it away, whether it was made for that grill or not.
