What's this made of? Is this durable? The one that came with my firepit didn't last a winter as it became very brittle and tore easily.

The one that came with our firepit became very brittle and tore after the affects of the summer sun and the winter (even though we also covered it with a tarp in the winter). We ordered the cover this spring and it is much more durable. The vinyl is thicker and seems to have a slight "meshing" on the backside which may help it survive the Wisconsin winter(s). Time will only tell.

I'm not sure what the actual material is but it feels far more resilient than the cover that came with my Blue Rhino pit (that only lasted two seasons before falling apart). It feels slightly less resilient than vinyl tarp material but far thicker and better sewn seams than the flimsy cover that came with the pit. I haven't tested it through what passes for winter in California but it feels and looks like it will hold up fairly well.

I think so....ours got a little hole in it from some ashes - so try to keep it far from the firepit when having a fire - otherwise, this is a very durable product!

I am using mine for the second year. I live in Michigan so it held up through a brutal winter uncovered! I believe it will last for at least 5-6 yrs!

This is the fire pit that I have. http://www.lowes.com/pd_328162-53470-66035_0__?productId=3316662I kept the lava rocks on the bottom as filler and used 10 lbs of the fireglass. It looks great!

Plastic backing, fire resistant I don't know? Check with the company who sells the product. I think it is very difficult to burn, metal and stone. I have a fireplace, and I would have no problem using this product around the outside of it. Don't take my word on it, do more checking.

The flooring is made of polyethylene, basically the same stuff that cheap blue tarps are made from. It should last reasonably well with care. Without care, probably not too long. Tarps are inexpensive - I always put one under my tent to protect the floor.

I don't know how it could withstand a house fire. I am terribly disappointed in mine. The hinge pins are made of plastic. It would appear to me that they would melt fairly quickly and there would be no structural integrity. I guess they have tested it, and their claims are accurate. But, the top fell off of mine after a year of use. I would not trust it with my important documents. I now use mine to store odds and ends that have no value.

I bought mine because of the price. Yes, it's thinner than a lot of the $200 to $1000 models, but you get what you pay for. Because it's not a $500 model, I keep the fires lower (no bonfires) and we are able to roast weenies and toast marshmallows for S'Mores and to keep warm on all but the coldest nights. I bet it will last at least another year or so. It's carport kept except when it's still too hot to move inside.

It comes with a protective cover, which we've elected not to use. It WILL rust if not used, but we were ok with that. Love the firepit.

It's a good cover. I've had my fireplace covered all winter on a beach front patio so lots of high winds and rain. It has held up without issue. The firepit is great too!

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

The sandbox is pretty durable and the wood is nice, however it does not come with a wood bottom. It just has a plastic liner that you put the sand in. We ended up going to by a thick piece of plywood and screwed it into the wood so it would be more durable.We live in California so we don't get bad winters. Not sure how it will hold up with rough winters. We also have a covered patio that we put it under to keep it protected. I hope this information helps!

Tami Anderson... the material this hose is made of is very durable and tough. about the rubber all I can say is that the hose is not pure rubber. it is a composite of different elements and materials to make this product strong to last long. I love this item or product. I have a 100 foot one. in fact I have 2 100 foot hoses. you will be very happy with this product. if you are not you can always return it. good luck.. customer of this hose

No- its not brittle at all. My 11 year old got it last Christmas & used all year!

If you show us a picture and we conclude it's not because of banging or dropping, we will cover it no matter how long you own it. These are made of conductive firebrick and can handle direct flame without a hitch.Joe

It is made of a canvas material. I boiught this in Julu of 2013 and in December it was splitting down the sides. My grill sits in the direct Florida sun so it does get alot of abuse, however I did except it to last more than 5 months. They did send me a new one free of charge since it does have a 3 year warrenty.

The base is not metal. More like a fiberglass or something. The bowl in the middle is definitely metal. Does have a little but of weight to it. I would lean more towards cast stone. Heats up like stone around the base. Best fire pit I have ever had that did not involve digging and hauling rocks. Holds 12" logs well, can put 5-6 split with no problems, just have to keep the screen off. I only use the screen when we are done and it is still burning.
