Harlo Compact - 70cm

Choosing the right size fire pit mostly depends on the size of your outdoor space and how many people you expect to gather around the fire.

All Harlo fire pits share the same design — the main difference is the diameter and the scale of the fire they create.

70cm – Compact
This size is ideal for smaller patios, courtyards or more intimate spaces. It provides a beautiful contained fire and is perfect for smaller gatherings or where space is limited.

100cm – Original
The 100cm Harlo is our most popular size and suits the majority of backyards. It creates a generous fire with excellent heat and comfortably becomes the centrepiece for gatherings with family and friends.

130cm – Grand
The 130cm Harlo makes a large visual statement and is ideal for bigger outdoor spaces or entertaining areas. It allows for a larger fire and works well when you regularly host larger groups.

If you’re unsure, the 100cm size is the best all-round choice for most homes — large enough to create a great fire while still fitting comfortably in typical backyard spaces.

All of our Corten steel products are pre-treated prior to dispatch to begin the natural weathering process. This means your fire pit or firewood storage unit will arrive with a partially developed patina, rather than raw, unweathered steel.

Over the following weeks to months, as your products is exposed to the elements, the patina will continue to develop and deepen into a rich, consistent finish. This evolving surface not only enhances the visual appeal but also forms a protective layer that helps prevent ongoing corrosion.

Because this is a natural process, each fire pit or wood storage unit will develop its own unique look over time - no two are ever exactly the same.

In short: your Corten steel product arrives already on its way, but its final character is something that develops with you.

Yes — and that’s intentional.

Our fire pits are built from thick steel so they are strong, stable and built to last. Most of our fire pits weigh around 50+kg, which helps them sit securely in place during use.

Because of their weight, we recommend positioning the fire pit where you plan to use it before lighting your first fire.

Fire pits should always be placed on a stable, non-combustible surface.

Suitable surfaces include:

• Pavers
• Compacted gravel
• Stone
• Heat proof surface

Avoid placing the fire pit directly on timber decking, grass or other flammable surfaces.

Many customers create a small dedicated fire pit area using gravel or stone, which also helps define a beautiful gathering space in the backyard.

Our fire pits are designed in Australia and manufactured from high-quality steel by trusted fabrication partners. Each design is carefully developed to balance durability, performance and timeless outdoor style.

Before reaching our customers, every fire pit is inspected to ensure it meets our standards for strength, finish and build quality.

The easiest way to protect your fire pit is by using a weatherproof cover when it’s not being used.

A cover helps protect the fire pit from:

• rain
• leaves and debris
• excess moisture

While steel fire pits are designed for outdoor use, covering them when possible can help extend their life and keep them looking their best.

A quality fire pit should be made from thick steel that can withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Thin steel fire pits can warp or deteriorate quickly. Higher-quality fire pits are typically made from 5mm to 6mm steel, which provides excellent durability and longevity.

Thicker steel also helps retain heat and creates a more substantial, stable fire pit.

One of the advantages of corten steel is that it requires very little maintenance.

The steel naturally forms a protective rust-like patina that helps shield the material from further corrosion.

Aside from occasionally removing ash and keeping the fire pit clean, very little maintenance is required.

Yes. Corten steel is specifically designed to perform well outdoors.

Once the protective patina forms, it helps protect the steel from deeper corrosion. This makes corten steel a popular choice for:

• outdoor sculptures
• landscaping features
• architectural elements
• fire pits

With normal use, a corten steel fire pit can last for many years outdoors.
