When you barbecue, you will definitely worry about burning your lawn or deck, but you don’t have to worry, The 36-inch fire pit pad can perfectly protect your deck. It can withstand high temperatures up to 1000°F! So you can enjoy the flame to your heart's content! The portable and lightweight design allows you to conveniently take the fire pit base to parties, picnics, camping, barbecues, or anywhere!
