Build a Custom Fire Pit Without Building the Structure
These ready-to-finish enclosures allow you to create a fully customised round fire pit while removing the complexity of building the core structure from scratch. The circular layout creates a natural gathering point, with a balanced, even flame pattern suited to social seating areas.
The exterior can be clad to match the surrounding space, while the internal system, from the CSA-certified insert to the ventilation, is fully engineered and supplied as part of the kit.
Designed for consistent results and faster installation, this approach is widely used in both contractor-led and DIY projects.
Why Choose an HPC Enclosure
- Reduces construction time significantly
- Removes guesswork from structural build
- Pre-engineered for reliable performance
- Supplied with a complete internal fire system
- Suitable for both natural gas and propane installations
Once a gas supply is in place, the enclosure can be assembled, clad, and installed in a short timeframe.
Choose Your Size
This model is available in two diameters, both with the same overall height.
- 45″ Diameter × 18″ Height
- 54″ Diameter × 18″ Height
Each size is paired with a proportionally matched round insert and burner to maintain a balanced flame within the enclosure.
Choose Your Fuel Type
- Natural Gas
- Propane (Whole-House)
Choose Your Burner
Standard Penta Burner: A traditional drilled-port burner that is designed to create a natural, campfire-style flame pattern. Rather than forming a simple ring, the Penta design distributes the flame across multiple points, resulting in an organic flame presentation.
Torpedo Penta Burner: An upgraded version fitted with precision-engineered nozzles. This produces a taller, more defined flame while maintaining efficient gas usage. This option is often selected where a stronger visual flame is desired.
Choose Your Ignition
HPC keeps ignition options focused and practical, with three systems to suit different installation requirements.
Match Lit – CSA Certified
A simple, manual system operated using a key valve. The burner is lit with a long match or lighter, with flame adjustment controlled at the valve.
Push Button Igniition – CSA Certified
Battery-powered ignition using a spark probe and control panel. Includes flame-sensing technology that automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished.
A practical option where added safety is required, but mains power is not available.
Electronic Ignition On/Off – CSA Certified
An automated ignition system designed for installations with access to power. Provides reliable ignition and integrated flame monitoring.
Suitable for projects where convenience and consistent operation are priorities.
The Electronic Ignition will automatically relight if the flame is blown out.
120VAC
Typically operated via a wall switch, but it can be wired to a timer, your whole-house system, or by Remote Control – not included.
LOW VOLTAGE – 24VAC
24VAC is used poolside or with other lower voltage requirements.
Typically operated via a wall switch, it can also be wired into the pool controller or your whole house system.
A Class II 24VAC, 4 amp, 100 W transformer must be used to power the fire pit and be able to be switched on and off from a remote location to allow for easy access or emergency. HPC highly recommends the HPC SEBCO 24VAC Power Supply
What’s Included
- Galvanized steel frame with welded construction
- Hardie board shell, pre-cut for vents, controls, and insert
- Stainless steel round insert (matched to enclosure size)
- Penta burner (standard or torpedo)
- Selected ignition system
- Stainless steel ventilation components
All core components are shipped assembled and ready for installation, excluding the external cladding. The fire pit insert, burner, and ignition system are shipped separately to prevent damage in transit and to simplify handling during installation.
Installation Considerations
- Adequate drainage must be provided within the enclosure to prevent water build-up
- Ventilation openings and control access points are pre-cut to simplify installation.
- Proper ventilation openings are pre-cut and must not be obstructed
- Gas supply must be sized appropriately for the selected BTU output
