The Outdoor Plus Cabo 48" Square Metal Fire Pit

A fire feature can look like an add-on or like it was always part of the design. The Outdoor Plus Cabo 48" is firmly the latter, a low, square metal fire pit with the clean silhouette of high-end architectural hardscape rather than a bulky bolt-on. Fabricated and finished in the USA, the Cabo is a metal fire pit with crisp, architectural edges, the collection featured on the Netflix series The Agency. At 48 inches it is the middle size, big enough to anchor a full seating group without dominating a mid-sized patio. Choose from ten finishes, five ignition systems, and either natural gas or liquid propane. Why the 48" Cabo The size most patios actually want The 48" measures 48" L x 48" W x 16" H, with a 28" x 28" burning area set into the middle of the top. That is nearly twice the fire surface of the 36" in a body only a foot wider. Square rather than long, so seating wraps it on all four sides instead of lining up along one edge. If your space is tighter, the 36" drops to a 20" x 20" burning area and costs less. If you are filling a large terrace, the 60" opens up to 40" x 40". 165,000 BTU, gathered in the center The burner sits centered in the opening, so the flame reads as one gathered square of fire rather than a line running past you. That is the difference between a square pit and a long fire table, and it is the reason the Cabo works with seating on all four sides. Lava rock is included. If you upgrade to fire glass, the suggested fill for this size is 82 lbs. Metal, built to hold a crisp edge Corten steel weathers to a deep russet patina over its first year and then stabilizes. Hammered patina copper develops its own living finish. Stainless steel and the powder-coat colors stay as delivered. All four are built for permanent outdoor exposure. Choosing Your Options Natural gas or liquid propane Natural gas runs off a plumbed line and never needs refilling, which is the better answer if you already have a gas stub or are willing to have one run. Liquid propane runs off a tank, which means no plumbing but a tank to swap and somewhere to hide it. Pick the one that matches your property. The burner is configured for your choice at the factory and cannot be swapped later. The five ignition systems, in plain English Match Lit, the simplest and least expensive. You turn a key valve and light it yourself. No power needed. Match Lit with Flame Sense, the same, plus a sensor that shuts the gas off if the flame blows out. Flame Sense with Spark, adds a push-button spark so you are not holding a lighter over the burner. Low Voltage Electronic (CSA certified), on and off from a remote or a wall switch. Needs a transformer and a power source nearby. Plug and Play (CSA certified), the same convenience, wired to plug into a standard outlet. The easiest of the electronic options to install. If an inspector or local code is involved, the CSA-certified options are the ones with documentation on file.

Built to order, ships in 3–4 weeks. Your fire pit is built for your order, your finish, your ignition, your fuel type, so it isn't pulled off a shelf. Production runs about 3 to 4 weeks, then it goes out on a freight truck. Figure four to six weeks from your order to your patio. Shipping is free — the price you see is the price you pay. No freight bill afterward, no surprise at checkout. Delivery is to the continental US, to your driveway or a designated spot on the property, with a liftgate where the size allows. When it's built, the freight carrier calls you to set a delivery window. Someone needs to be home to meet the truck and sign for it. Look the crate over before you sign, freight damage is rare, but it can only be put right if it's noted on the paperwork at the time. Professional installation. As a gas fire feature, the Cabo should follow all clearances and local codes for your selected fuel type, and professional installation is recommended. If you don't have a preferred installer, contact us and we can point you toward qualified professional installation for your setup. Built for you, so please double-check your choices. Because each unit is made to your specification, we can't return or exchange it once it goes into production. Take a minute over the finish, the ignition and whether you're on natural gas or propane.
