- Is the Helios fire pit table safe on a wood deck?
- It is a propane unit, so it needs clearance from combustible surfaces and should sit on a stable, level base. Check the manual for the required clearance underneath and around the burner before placing it on wood.
- Does it include the burner and lava rock?
- The table is sold as a fire pit table with its burner assembly. Confirm the listing contents for the included media, cover and hose or regulator, since bundles vary.
- How does HDPE hold up outdoors?
- HDPE is the same family of plastic used in outdoor furniture: it does not rust or rot and handles sun and rain well. It can still fade or scratch over years, and it is not as heat-resistant as metal near the burner.
- What size propane tank does it use?
- It runs on a standard propane tank, typically a 20 lb cylinder. Tank placement depends on the base design, so check whether the tank fits inside or sits outside.
- How does it compare with a steel or concrete fire pit?
- It is lighter, rust-free and easier to move, and the square top is more useful as a table. Steel and concrete feel more substantial and handle heat better, but need more care against rust and chips.
- Can I leave it outside in winter?
- HDPE tolerates cold and moisture better than wood or steel, but covering it and shutting off the gas is still wise. Store the burner and hose as the manual directs.
