What do you get in the box

 

You will get seating for four in two chairs, a love seat with a fire pit table for heat when cool or a table when it is warmer and you need a cool drink while chatting with friends. Steel frames with a powder coated finish will give you a base for the seating items. A woven resin wicker is used to cover the sides of all the items.

The chairs and love seat will have straight legs and no movement. Thick cushions will give you plenty of seating comfort. Cushions are supported by plastic straps woven across the frame. Two colors of cushions are available for this collection, red or a tan color.

Cushions will have a foam base with an Olefin fabric cover. This fabric is one of the best for outdoor furniture and last very well in most conditions. Storage is still recommended for any fabric for your outdoor furniture. For some patio storage solutions look at my post here.

Fire pit has a resin wicker skirt on four sides. A drawer will open on one end and the 20 pound propane tank (not included) will roll out for easy changing. Flame controls will be behind the door also, this will be a safety feature. When the drawer is closed children will not be able to play with your controls.

Top will be a stone material with two types of finishes, a wood grain look or a natural stone. Six pieces of stone will cover the top. The square burn area will Have a metal cover when fire is not needed. 40,000 BTU's of heat will be produced when put on high setting. This will heat a 15-foot circle on moderately cool evenings, your results may be different depending on wind and other things out of your control.

A square fire bowl will have a round burner covered with red glass rocks. The rocks can be replaced with other colors to enhance your fire, this will cost you extra.

This square fire pit will be 38 inches across and 27.75 inches tall. It will weigh 66 pounds without the propane tank. If a tile is broken, you may have to replace all six to match the color. A Natural gas conversion kit is included in hardware pack.

This resin wicker fire pit conversation patio set will work best for those who have at least a 12-foot square area with no overhead. Any floor material will work with this fire pit, it will be good on wooden or composite deck floors without any protection. Make sure burn bowl is at least 5 feet from any combustible siding materials, placing a seating piece between the fire pit and a wall will make sure you are far enough away.

 

Assembly of your patio furniture

​

Some assembly of each piece will be required, it may take up to an hour or more depending on your skills and if you have extra hands helping. All tools needed for assembly are included in the hardware pack.

Fire pit table will come mostly assembled. Sit up on its feet and put the top on, attach with the four screws. Remove the cardboard from burn bowl and add fire rocks. Add your fuel will be next, natural gas and propane tanks are the two types of fuel for this fire pit, you will have to follow instructions included for each type.

After type fuel is added, you are ready for your first fire in you pit. Add the batteries to the igniter turn on the gas control behind the door. Adjust after the fire is started to the desired look.

Chairs and love seat will follow the same assembly instructions. Attach arms to back section, attach seat base to this assembly. Make sure that you only hand tighten screws until all are started, this will give you the best results. On the chairs you will have to attach the seat assembly to the base assembly with four screws and brackets.

Once you have all the seating pieces put together you can add cushions and pillows for a comfy evening enjoying your favorite adult beverage with you helper, try to wait until you are done with assembly for best results.

Care of your Ventura patio furniture

​

As with most patio furniture sets with cushions, storage will be needed. Keeping your set looking new will just involve cleaning with a mild soap and water.

Do not use any harsh chemicals on powder coated surfaces, as this will result in peeling and discoloration on the surfaces. Even glass cleaners are harsh enough to be tough on these types of surfaces.
