The Outdoor Plus Tempe 48" Concrete Fire Pit OPT-TEM48

GFRC stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete — a composite material that blends Portland cement with alkali-resistant glass fibers. The result is a product that is significantly stronger than standard concrete while being considerably lighter. For a fire pit, this means excellent durability and heat resistance without the extreme weight of a solid concrete unit, making it easier to position and less stressful on outdoor decking or patio surfaces.

Because each Tempe fire pit is individually handcrafted to order in the USA, the current lead time is approximately 4 to 6 weeks from the time of purchase. Due to its made-to-order nature, all sales are final. Please plan ahead if you need the fire pit for a specific event or season.

The Tempe 48" is available in both natural gas and propane configurations — you select your preferred fuel type at the time of purchase. The propane version is designed to connect to a standard LP tank, while the natural gas version connects to a dedicated gas supply line. Both versions include the necessary hoses and hardware as part of the included burner system.

The match light ignition is a straightforward and dependable system where you manually light the burner using a long match or lighter via the key valve. The electronic ignition upgrade provides push-button or remote convenience with a CSA-certified ignition system, ideal for frequent use. The electronic ignition option is priced higher and is a popular choice for those who want the easiest possible operation.

Yes — the Tempe 48" is fully compatible with a fire glass upgrade. The manufacturer recommends approximately 50 pounds of fire glass to properly fill the burning area. Fire glass enhances the visual appeal of the flame by reflecting and refracting light, creating a striking jewel-like effect. Fire glass can typically be purchased separately in a variety of colors to complement your chosen concrete finish.

Yes. The GFRC construction is designed for permanent outdoor installation and is highly resistant to weathering, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. However, like most outdoor fire features, using a protective cover when the unit is not in use will help extend its appearance and protect the finish from UV exposure, debris, and prolonged moisture contact.

The fire pit ships as a complete ready-to-connect unit and includes the GFRC fire pit body, an LC Certified burner system, a fire pan, a 304 stainless steel burner, key valve, key, connecting hoses, and lava rock. All components needed to operate the fire pit are included — you simply need to connect to your gas supply. Electronic ignition models also include the ignition assembly and controller.

The Outdoor Plus provides a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects. This covers workmanship and material defects under normal use conditions. Because each unit is made to order, all sales are considered final. For warranty claims or service inquiries, contact The Outdoor Plus or your retailer directly with your order information and documentation of the defect.
