The Outdoor Plus Unity Fire Pit – 24" Tall Round Design
A Gathering Point for Every Backyard — Handcrafted Fire, Perfectly at Conversation Height
The Outdoor Plus Unity Fire Pit in 24" Tall brings people face-to-face with the flame — at the exact height that makes every seat around it feel like the best seat in the house.
The Outdoor Plus Unity Fire Pit — 24" Tall is a round gas fire pit available in 48", 60", and 72" diameters, handcrafted in the USA from your choice of Hammered Copper, Corten Steel, or Stainless Steel. Engineered for outdoor entertaining, the Unity's chat-height profile puts the fire at a natural lounge level so no one is craning over a too-tall rim or looking down at a too-low bowl — everyone just gathers in, and the night takes care of itself. With up to 175,000 BTU of output from a 304 stainless steel burner, natural gas and propane compatibility, and a full range of ignition options up to CSA-certified electronic, this is the round fire pit built to be the permanent centrepiece of your outdoor space.
Why the Unity Fire Pit Earns Its Spot as the Centrepiece
Every detail of the Unity is designed around one outcome: bringing people together around a beautiful, dependable flame. Here is what makes it happen.
Chat Height That Makes Every Conversation Easy
At 24" tall, the flame sits right at lounging-chair arm-rest height — warm enough to feel, low enough that no one is blocked, and perfectly placed for a drink in hand and a long conversation.
Serious Heat Output for Real Outdoor Warmth
The 72" model delivers up to 175,000 BTU/hr — enough to keep a full patio circle warm on a cool evening. Even the 48" compact version outputs a robust 65,000 BTU so no one is sitting out of range of the heat.
Commercial-Grade Burner That Lasts Season After Season
The 304 stainless steel burner and fire pan resist corrosion, heat cycling, and the elements year-round — so you are not replacing components a few seasons in.
Right-Size the Flame to Your Space
Choose 48" for a more intimate patio setting, 60" for a mid-size gathering circle, or 72" for a large entertaining area where you want the fire to anchor the whole yard.
Certified Electronic Ignition — One-Touch Lighting
Upgrade to the CSA-certified Plug & Play 110V or Low Voltage electronic ignition and the fire is live in seconds, every time — no match, no lighter, no fumbling when guests are waiting.
Individually Handcrafted — Not Mass-Produced
Every Unity is cut, bent, welded, and finished in-house in Southern California. Each piece is unique, which means yours will have the character and quality of something made by hand — because it is.
Premium Material Finishes — Built to Age Beautifully
The Unity is offered in three premium metal finishes, each with a distinct character. Hammered Copper develops a rich blue-green patina over time as the natural copper reacts with its environment — this deepening of color is part of the material's appeal, not a flaw. Corten Steel forms a protective rust-like surface layer that stabilizes and seals the steel underneath, giving it an earthy, industrial warmth that looks even better with age. Stainless Steel offers a clean, contemporary look with strong resistance to weather and corrosion. Select your material and size above.
Ignition Options — From Simple to Smart
The Unity ships with a Match Lit ignition kit as standard, which connects directly to your gas source and is straightforward to use. For more convenience, you can select from Match Lit with Flame Sense (LC Certified), Flame Sense with Spark, CSA-certified Low Voltage Electronic, or CSA-certified Plug & Play 110V electronic ignition. The Plug & Play system runs off a standard outdoor outlet and requires no hardwiring; the Low Voltage system can be wired by a local electrician and integrated with pool controllers, home automation, or remote controls. Select your preferred ignition type above before adding to cart.
Who the Unity Fire Pit Is For
- Outdoor entertainers who host regularly — the round silhouette seats everyone equally around the fire so no one gets the "cold shoulder seat" at a corner.
- Homeowners building or finishing a patio — the Unity is designed to anchor an outdoor living space, not just accessorise it; choose the size that matches your seating footprint.
- Buyers who want a premium, lasting investment — handmade in the USA from Hammered Copper, Corten Steel, or Stainless Steel, this is a fire feature that appreciates in character over time rather than deteriorating.
- Anyone upgrading from a low fire pit bowl — the 24" chat height solves the most common fire pit complaint: too low to feel the heat and too awkward for conversation.
- Natural gas or propane households — compatible with both fuel types; select your gas type above to ensure the correct orifice is configured from the factory.
- Buyers who want plug-in or low-voltage convenience — the CSA-certified electronic ignition options mean the fire is on in seconds, controllable remotely, and safe in adverse conditions.

The Outdoor Plus Unity Fire Pit — Frequently Asked Questions
What size Unity Fire Pit should I choose for my patio?
The 48" diameter is well suited for intimate settings with two to four lounge chairs and a smaller patio. The 60" is the most popular size and works well for a group of six to eight, offering a generous burning area and 160,000 BTU without overwhelming a mid-size outdoor space. The 72" is the statement piece — it anchors a large entertaining zone for eight or more guests and delivers up to 175,000 BTU. A general guide: measure your intended seating circle and leave at least 18" to 24" of clearance between the pit edge and any seating. Contact us if you would like help matching the size to your layout.
What is the difference between the ignition options?
Match Lit is the simplest option — you open the valve and ignite the gas manually with a match or lighter. Match Lit with Flame Sense adds a safety valve that shuts the gas off if the flame goes out. Flame Sense with Spark adds a push-button spark so you do not need an open flame to light it. Low Voltage Electronic (CSA Certified) is a 12V system that automatically re-lights the fire if it is blown out, and can be wired to a light switch, pool controller, or home automation system. Plug & Play (CSA Certified) is the 110V version — it plugs into a standard outdoor outlet, requires no hardwiring, and offers the same auto-relight convenience. Both CSA-certified electronic options are tested to withstand weather conditions and will shut off automatically in severe wind or rain.
Does the Unity work with natural gas and propane?
Yes. The Unity is compatible with both natural gas and liquid propane. The gas orifice is configured at the factory based on the gas type you select, so it is important to choose correctly above before adding to cart. If you later switch fuel types, the orifice will need to be changed — contact The Outdoor Plus for guidance on that process.
Does the Unity need to be installed by a professional?
Yes. The Outdoor Plus requires that installation be carried out by a licensed gas technician. This applies to all Unity models and both fuel types. Your technician will make the gas line connection, verify proper operation, and ensure compliance with local codes. Do not attempt to connect the gas supply yourself.
What fire media comes included, and can I upgrade to fire glass?
Black lava rocks are included with every Unity. Fire glass is not included but can be purchased separately and used instead of or on top of the lava rocks. Recommended quantities are approximately 50 lbs for the 48", 100 lbs for the 60", and 200 lbs for the 72". Note: for liquid propane applications, fire glass smaller than 1/2" is not recommended as it can restrict gas flow.
What material should I choose — Hammered Copper, Corten Steel, or Stainless Steel?
Hammered Copper develops a natural blue-green patina over time; this is a characteristic of the material, not a defect, and many owners love the aged look it takes on. Corten Steel forms a stable rust-like surface layer that protects the steel underneath — it has a warm, earthy tone that deepens outdoors and is highly weather-resistant. Stainless Steel maintains a cleaner, more contemporary appearance with strong corrosion resistance and requires the least maintenance of the three. All three are durable for year-round outdoor use. Contact The Outdoor Plus to request physical finish samples before ordering if you would like to see the material in person first.
Will my Unity Fire Pit look exactly like the product photos?
Because each Unity is individually handmade, slight variations in color and texture are natural and expected. The product photos are representative — the exact shade and surface character of your unit may differ slightly, particularly with Hammered Copper and Corten Steel, which develop their appearance over time and in response to their specific environment. The Outdoor Plus recommends requesting a physical finish sample if color accuracy is important to your project.
How do I care for and cover the Unity Fire Pit?
Always allow the fire pit to cool completely before covering it. Use only breathable outdoor cover material — never a plastic or sealed non-breathable cover, as condensation can build up inside and cause damage to the finish. Air the unit out at least every 48 hours if kept covered for extended periods, regardless of season. The included weather-resistant cover is designed for breathable protection.
How long does it take to ship after ordering?
The Unity is made to order, meaning production begins after your order is placed. Lead times can vary depending on current production schedules. Contact Deck & Den before or after placing your order for the most current estimated ship timing so you can plan your installation accordingly.
Can I return or cancel a Unity Fire Pit order?
No. Because every Unity is custom-built to your selected size, material, ignition type, and gas type, the order cannot be cancelled or returned once production has begun. Please review all selections carefully before placing your order. If you have any uncertainty about specifications, contact us first — we are happy to help you confirm the right configuration before you commit.
What is the warranty on the Unity Fire Pit?
The Unity is covered by The Outdoor Plus's 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty is provided and honored directly by The Outdoor Plus — Deck & Den passes this coverage through to you as an authorized retailer. To make a warranty claim, visit The Outdoor Plus warranty claim form on their website.
Is there a glass wind guard available for the Unity?
Yes. A 38" Round Glass Wind Guard is available separately and fits the 72" Unity model. It helps protect the flame from wind and can extend your comfortable outdoor use on breezier evenings. Ask us about availability when ordering your Unity.
Can the electronic ignition be controlled by a home automation system?
Yes. The Low Voltage (12V) electronic ignition can be wired by a local electrician to work with a light switch, pool controller (with relay), or home automation system for remote or integrated control of your fire feature. The Plug & Play 110V system connects to a standard outlet and can be operated via compatible automation setups as well. Consult your electrician or smart-home installer for integration specifics.
Is the Unity Fire Pit safe to use in rain or wind?
The CSA-certified electronic ignition systems (both Low Voltage and Plug & Play) are designed to operate in mild wind and rain conditions and will automatically re-light the flame if it is blown out. In severe weather, the system will shut off automatically as a safety measure. The Match Lit and Flame Sense ignition options do not have automatic re-light or auto-shutoff features. For all ignition types, allow the unit to cool before covering and avoid operating in extreme storm conditions.
