DIY Fire Pit Maintenance – Keeping Your Fire Pit in Top Condition

Bedrock Gardens Helps You Inspect Your Fire Pit for Wear and Tear

Before lighting your next fire, give your pit a thorough inspection. Check for rust, structural cracks, or loose hardware. Addressing these issues early keeps your setup safe and functional through the colder months.

Clear Out Ashes and Debris After Each Use

DIY fire pit maintenance – keeping your fire pit in top condition starts with regular cleaning. Remove ashes and leftover wood after each fire. Use a metal scoop and store ashes in a fire-safe container until cool. At Bedrock Gardens, we encourage seasonal upkeep to keep your landscape looking clean and cared for.

Scrub Grime and Soot Buildup with the Right Tools

Use a wire brush and mild soap to remove soot and residue from stone or metal surfaces. For tougher buildup, try a vinegar and water solution. Keeping your fire pit clean improves performance and extends its lifespan.

Cover Your Fire Pit to Prevent Weather Damage

Use a durable cover to protect your fire pit from rain, snow, and ice. Moisture accelerates rust and erosion—especially during the freeze-thaw cycles common in Hazle Township. A simple cover goes a long way toward preserving your investment.
