Fire Pit VidaXL rectangular steel fire bowl brown model 858935 60 x 40 x 95.5 cm

VidaXL rectangular steel fire bowl in brown (model 858935) is an outdoor fire pit designed to provide a controlled open flame for warmth, ambient lighting and simple outdoor cooking. Made from steel with a rectangular basin, the fire bowl is intended for use on patios, in gardens or at campsites where a compact, stable fire source is required. The supplied dimensions (60 x 40 x 95.5 cm) describe the overall footprint and height for planning placement and clearances.

Advantages

The steel construction offers a durable and heat-resistant surface that contains wood or charcoal fuel safely within a defined basin. The rectangular shape provides a linear fire area that can be easier to position along terraces or against low walls than a round bowl. The brown finish integrates with natural garden tones and the open-top design allows straightforward access for tending the fire and placing cooking grates or skewers if required.

Suitable for

• Providing outdoor warmth on patios and terraces
• Creating ambient firelight for garden seating areas
• Simple wood- or charcoal-based cooking such as grilling or skewering
• Temporary campsite fire where a contained fire basin is allowed

When it may not be suitable

This steel fire bowl is not intended for use with pressurized gas fittings or as a permanent built-in fireplace; it is designed for wood and charcoal only. It may not be suitable for locations with strict open-fire regulations or where a non-combustible hearth and fixed chimney are required. Also consider that steel will develop heat-related discoloration and surface changes over time with repeated use.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Shape: rectangular basin
• Colour: brown
• Overall dimensions (approx.): 60 x 40 x 95.5 cm
• Fuel type: wood or charcoal

How to use

Place the fire bowl on a level, non-combustible surface with adequate clearance from buildings, vegetation and overhead structures. Add a suitable depth of kindling and fuel (wood or charcoal) and ignite following local safety guidelines. Maintain supervision while burning, and use fire tools or heat-resistant gloves to adjust fuel. After use, allow embers to cool completely before disposing of ash; store the unit in a dry location or cover it to reduce weathering when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Check local regulations and any fire safety restrictions for open fires in your area.
• Ensure you have a suitable, stable, non-combustible surface and sufficient clearance around the fire bowl.
• Consider protective covers or storage to reduce rust and prolong the steel finish.
• Plan for ash disposal and safe handling of hot surfaces and embers.

Usage recommendations

To maximise service life and safety, use seasoned hardwood or quality lump charcoal, avoid overloading the basin with excessive fuel, and always keep a fire extinguisher or water source nearby. Regularly remove ashes once cold and inspect the steel for signs of corrosion; treat or repaint exposed areas if necessary to maintain the finish.
