nValencia Fire Pit

THE FOUNDATION

CONCRETE BASE OR CONCRETE PAVERS (SEE DIAGRAM A) Diagram A: Concrete Base or Concrete Pavers

When installing your fi re pit on a concrete base or on concrete pavers, make sure you fi ll the inside of the fi re pit with a layer of sand [at least 75 mm (3")]. This will allow the fi ltration of any water that may evacuate through the walls following a rain storm.

COMPACTED GRAVEL BASE (SEE DIAGRAM B)Diagram B: Compacted Gravel Foundation

The Valencia fi re pit should be installed on a well compacted 0-20 mm (0-3⁄4") stone base [minimum of 10 cm (4")]. The fi rst row of Valencia blocks should be embedded below ground level (see diagram B).

BUILDING FIRST COURSEAfter laying down the fi rst row of blocks, make sure they are perfectly leveled, and then glue the second row of blocks to the fi rst using heat-resistant concrete adhesive. Do not glue the second row of blocks, as that is where the log support and fi re bowl will be installed . Make sure that the joints of the second row are not aligned with the fi rst row of blocks (crossed joints). This is accomplished by laying the fi rst block of the second row as follows: place the center of the block directly on top of the joint created by the two fi rst-row blocks (see to image 2). Repeat step 2 until you have achieved the desired height of the fi re bowl and continue to step 3.

NOTE: Your Valencia fi re pit must be a minimum height of 15" including the cap.

INSTALLATION OF LOG SUPPORT AND FIRE BOWLBefore installing the last row of blocks (caps), you will need to insert the fi re bowl and the log support grill (see image 3).

INSTALLING CAPSWe strongly recommend against the gluing of caps. When placing the spark screen, make sure it rests on the fi re bowl and not on the caps (see images 4A + 4B). Finally, you will be required to use the poker stick to remove or place the spark screen when the fi re pit is in use. The spark screen handle becomes very hot from the fi re.

CONVERTING INTO A PLANTERWe recommend against gluing the caps on the last row to facilitate the maintenance of your fi re pit and the possibility of converting it into a planter (see image 5).

It is strongly recommended that the sand be replaced at the start of each season in order to ensure proper fi ltration.
