Mountain View Stone premade fire pits are available in two colors: buff and slate. Both options feature the same 47-inch round design, 16 interlocking sections, and cast-stone construction, allowing you to choose the appearance that best complements your home's exterior and outdoor living area. The color you select can help the fire pit coordinate with surrounding patios, landscaping, siding, brick, stone, wood, and other exterior materials.

Buff provides a warm, natural appearance that works well with traditional homes, earth-tone landscaping, brick, warm-colored stone, and natural wood. Its lighter, neutral character makes it a versatile choice for outdoor spaces with warmer materials and colors. Slate offers a darker, cooler appearance that works particularly well with contemporary landscaping, gray stone, concrete patios, darker siding, and other cool-toned exterior finishes.

A stone fire pit can be installed in a variety of outdoor residential settings, including patios, landscaped backyard areas, and outdoor entertaining spaces. The substantial appearance of stone makes the fire pit a natural complement to other hardscape materials, while its round design can help define a dedicated gathering area within a larger outdoor living space. When choosing a location, consider how the fire pit will work with existing seating, landscaping, patios, walkways, and other features.

The installation location should provide a suitable, stable, and level surface and enough surrounding space for safe operation. Keep the fire pit away from structures, trees, fencing, furniture, overhead features, and other combustible materials, and always follow applicable local fire regulations and manufacturer safety instructions. Before installation, check local building and fire requirements to make sure the planned location meets all applicable requirements for an outdoor fire feature.
