Fire Tables

Pieces

Fire tables are rectangular or oval gas fire features that double as low-rise coffee or dining tables, with the burner centered in a glass or lava-rock media bed. Sizes run from 36" compact rectangles up to 84" dining-length tables. GFRC concrete tops dominate the premium end; powder-coated steel and hammered copper fill the mid-tier. Pick the length first by seating (36-48" for 2-4 chairs, 60-72" for 6, 84" for party-scale), then material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fire table do I need?+

Match length to the seating group. 36-48" rectangle works for a 2-4 chair conversation set. 60-72" tables suit 6 chairs around them. 84" tables anchor a 6-8-chair outdoor dining room. Allow at least 24" between the table edge and chair backs for traffic flow. Table height is almost always 18-22" — low enough that the flame is visually open from any sitting position.

How much does a 72-inch fire table weigh?+

GFRC concrete 60-72" tables run 350-500 lbs — enough that most residential sites need a two-person delivery with a dolly or lift gate, and some pavers won't support concentrated point loads from the table legs without a thicker pad. Powder-coated steel versions of the same size run 150-250 lbs. Confirm your delivery address can accept a liftgate truck before ordering a GFRC table.

How many BTUs should a fire table have?+

Fire tables scale BTU to length. A 36-48" table does well at 50-80k BTU. 60-72" tables sit in the 90-130k range. 84" tables run 150-190k BTU to light the full burner evenly without weak flame zones. Narrow linear burners (3-5" wide) look better than wide burners when the table is viewed from the long side.

Can a fire table also function as a dining table?+

Partially. Fire tables are low — 18-22" tall — so they work as coffee tables with lounge chairs around them, or appetizer/drink tables with bar stools. True 29-30" dining-height fire tables exist (The Outdoor Plus publishes a bar-height line) but are the exception. If you want fire at dining height, specify the bar-height variant up front; standard-height fire tables are not a dining substitute.

What's the foundation requirement for a 500-lb fire table?+

GFRC fire tables distribute weight across four legs — expect 100-125 lbs per leg on a full 500-lb table. On a poured concrete patio, no special prep is needed. On pavers, confirm the paver bed is compacted base + bedding sand (not just loose stone); heavy point loads can tilt poorly-set pavers. On a wood deck, verify the joist span rating for the point load — a residential deck should hold it fine if joists are 16" on center.

Can I use a fire table in a covered patio or under a pergola?+

Covered patio with a solid roof: generally no, unless the structure has at least 10 feet of clearance from flame top to the roof underside and good cross-ventilation. Pergola with open slats or louvered openings: yes, treat as outdoor. Follow the manufacturer's required overhead clearance — The Outdoor Plus and other brands publish specific minimum vertical clearances per model.
