VidaXL Outdoor Fire Pit model 858948 is a black steel fire bowl designed for garden and patio use. The unit measures 50 x 50 x 100 cm and is built from durable steel to provide a stable open fire source for warmth, outdoor cooking over an open flame, or creating atmosphere during gatherings. The simple, geometric shape fits a variety of outdoor settings and is intended for seasonal, outdoor use on level, non-flammable surfaces.
Advantages
This steel fire pit offers a robust construction that withstands regular outdoor use when appropriately maintained. Its compact footprint and vertical profile make it suitable for gardens and patios where space is limited but a visible flame is desired. The black finish reduces visual maintenance and integrates with common outdoor furniture styles. Designed for open-flame use, it provides a direct heat source and straightforward access for grilling or placing a cooking grate.
Suitable for
- Heating small outdoor areas such as patios, terraces and gardens
- Open-flame cooking with a suitable grate or tripod
- Creating ambient lighting and a focal point for outdoor gatherings
- Seasonal outdoor use during dry, calm weather conditions
When it may not be suitable
This fire pit is intended for outdoor, seasonal use and is not designed for indoor use or enclosed spaces. It may not be suitable for very small balconies, covered structures, or areas with strict local regulations on open flames or burning. Use is not recommended on highly flammable surfaces; a non-combustible base and safe clearance from combustible materials are required.
Key specifications

- Color: black finish
- Overall dimensions: 50 x 50 x 100 cm (width x depth x height)

How to use
Place the fire pit on a stable, level, non-combustible surface with adequate clearance from buildings, overhangs and vegetation.
