3 Benefits of Custom Fire Pits vs. Mass-Produced Options

---

Among the Koi Lagoon team, our customers, friends, and family members all seem to have the same primary complaint when it comes to their mass-produced outdoor fire pits: they don’t last. After a year or two, the bottoms often become burned or rusted through. This can cause a lot of frustration, especially if the rest of the pit is still in good shape. 

At the Koi Lagoon, we’ve seen many fire pits with rusted or burned out holes. In fact, we created a custom fire pit insert (pictured to the left) to fit inside an existing metal fire pit for a customer who liked the pit design and didn’t want to replace the entire thing. 

So, why are our fire pits different from these mass-produced options? Our metal fabricators use thicker-gauge metal to craft our fire pits compared to the ones you’ll find at big box stores, and we take the time to ensure our pits are welded properly.

In addition to the durability and long-term cost savings, a custom wood-burning fire pit made by our team provides tons of customization options. We create fire pits in all shapes and sizes, including rectangular, round, geodesic, and more. Our CNC plasma table allows us to create a wide variety of designs and themes, and we have many different finishes available, including paint, patina, and powder-coat, so each pit matches the client’s vision. 

Whether you want to design a fire pit to fit your current backyard theme or commemorate a special date or event, we can create a custom fire pit to suit your needs.
