This 60-inch round HPC Ready-to-Finish Fire Pit Kit delivers a fully assembled structural shell that serves as a blank canvas, allowing you to tailor the exterior appearance to your surrounding landscape using tile, paint, or stone cladding. By supplying the complete housing, factory-installed HardieBoard substrate, ventilation, and certified gas equipment, this DIY unit removes construction guesswork so you can move straight to applying the final finish.
Standing at an elevated 23.5-inch height specifically to conceal a standard 20 lb liquid propane cylinder inside, this structure eliminates the need for external gas plumbing or a separate tank hideaway. Access to the internal tank area is handled through an integrated stainless steel hatch panel built directly into the shell.
The commercial-grade core utilizes a .065 mild steel welded frame wrapped in a 1/2-inch Hardie Board shell, featuring pre-cut openings for ventilation plates. Each kit comes supplied with a fully assembled, CSA-certified HPC round insert, offering multiple burner styles and ignition options tailored to your gas supply.
Custom shapes and tailored dimensions are also available upon request. Browse other shapes and sizes within our Ready to Finish Enclosure Selection.
Options
Select Burner Type
- Standard Penta Burner: A traditional 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.
Select Ignition
HPC keeps ignition options focused and practical, with two 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 Ignition – 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.
