HPC Round Black Aluminum Fire Pit Cover
$408.22 – $746.30
HPC Round Black Aluminum Fire Pit Cover
The HPC Aluminum Fire Pit Lid is manufactured using high-quality, lightweight aluminum which is then finished with a UV-resistant, high-heat, black textured powder coating.
The round fire pit lid has a centrally located handle, and is available in three sizes:
- 24 inches diameter – 2 1/4″ tall, weighs 6 lbs
- 36 inches diameter – 2 1/4″ tall, weighs 13 lbs
- 48 inches diameter – 2 1/4″ tall, weighs 23 lbs
The lids are approximately 2 1/4″ high at the center, tapering down to 1″ towards the outer edge.
Which size to choose?
Designed to fully encompass the opening of your fire pit thus protecting the burn area and components, these round fire pit covers will work with a maximum opening of 2″ less than the diameter of the cover. Be aware that if a fire table/pit has a drop-in pan sitting on a flange, the cover will need to sit beyond this and should be taken into account.
Warranty
The HPC Round Black Aluminum Fire Pit Cover is covered by a 3-year HPC Warranty (Normal weathering expected).
Why cover a fire pit?
Covers are designed to protect fire pits from the elements. Extreme temperatures, damp conditions, snow, and such all take their toll on metal. This also applies to metal components of a fire pit. After all, even Stainless Steel may rust eventually, there is a reason it is called “stain-less” and not “stain-free”!
Expensive electronic components may also be affected if heavy rainfall were to overcome drainage and become submerged. This can really put a damper on things, literally and figuratively.
Even normal rainfall will delay the operation of the fire feature until the components and fire media have dried out!
What it boils down to is this; protecting your fire pit = protecting your investment.
How fire pit covers help reduce maintenance and cleaning of your fire pit
Fire media such as fire glass requires more frequent cleaning if not kept under a cover to keep it looking its best and a gas fire feature needs to be kept free of dirt and debris to ensure good working order of the fire pit.
Before lighting your fire pit any flammable debris such as leaves, twigs, paper, etc. must be removed from the fire pit. Lids ensure your fire pit is ready for use at a moment’s notice.
Creepy crawlies seem to like nesting in the gas burners and air mixers causing blockages, so it makes sense to reduce the likelihood of this as much as possible, especially if the fire pit is not frequently used.
All in all, protecting your fire pit from the weather and keeping it free of critters will go a long way to ensure that it not only lasts longer but will also require less maintenance along the way.
