Review: VonHaus Copper Rim Fire Pit

The VonHaus Copper Rim Fire Pit adds a bit of rustic chic to any garden.

*This product was gifted in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I was so excited when popular brand VonHaus got in touch with me to review their gorgeous Copper Rim Fire Pit. As you all know because I’ve talked about it so many times, we’re having our garden renovated and work starts on 1st May!

We know exactly what we want for the renovation. We’ve got 4,500 second-hand block paving bricks sitting in the garage for the front drive which we picked up from various places (always trying to do things on a budget). We’ve got the drainage ready, we’re taking the horrible carport down in a few days’ time and we’ve got slate paving (again, second hand) which is going by the patio doors.

   

I can’t wait for that carport to come down. At the minute, it makes the kitchen diner so dark.

Just to give you an idea of what we’re aiming for, we want our back garden to be laid out a little like this:

   

We’re having slate patio by the back doors, then a section of gravel with some slate stepping stones which leads to the wooden decking at the back. We’re hoping the eye will be drawn down the garden, making it look and feel bigger, as our garage is so huge.

I’m hoping that the decking we get can somehow be made heat resistant so that our fabulous new copper rim fire pit from VonHaus can go on it along with our garden chairs.

 

The Product

I love this fire pit even more than I did online! It’s slightly rustic looking but I just love the copper rim that adds some contrast.

   

The product feels very sturdy which is good. The base is made out of metal that is woven together so that some heat can escape from the sides as well as the top.

It’s quite heavy and would be even more so once it’s got burning logs in. It was so easy to put together (I did it myself without needing hubby’s assistance which says it all). Mostly, you just need to screw the bolts in the right places using a screwdriver. I love the way it hangs off the ground ever so slightly too.

The amazing thing about this fire pit is that it doubles up as a BBQ! It comes with a grill which sits on the inside so you can cook your chicken drumsticks and sausages.

   

We don’t have a BBQ yet so this is the perfect feature. Hopefully we’ll get some more lovely weather soon so we can put the fire pit to the test!

The parts all came very neatly packages and the instructions were very easy to follow.

   

When our garden renovation is complete, we’ll be able to properly test out the fire pit and probably won’t ever want to come back inside! Look out for more garden blog posts over the coming weeks.

 

UPDATE:

It’s been over a year since we’ve had our fire pit now. The garden renovation is complete and, though we’re still a little short on plants/planters, I absolutely love how it turned out. Plus, our fire pit looks amazing with our new chairs.

It’s still in amazing condition with no sign of wear and it stays fairly clean so you don’t have to give it a scrub after each use. Our VonHaus fire pit gets so many compliments too!
