The Corten Steel Fire Pit That Looks Just as Good With the Lid On
Product Description
Most fire pits have one mode: lit. The Vault has two, and both of them look deliberate.
At 1000 mm wide and just 300 mm tall, the Vault is the widest fire pit in the Outdoor Escape range. Its solid cylindrical form is clean, architectural, and completely unadorned — no cut patterns, no decorative detail, just a confident circle of Corten steel sitting in your outdoor space. When the fire is going, it's an open, generous firebox that radiates warmth across a broad area. When the evening is over, the matching steel lid drops into place, and the Vault becomes a sculptural outdoor object — sealed, tidy, and still striking.
That lid is what sets the Vault apart from everything else in this range. No ash blowing across the patio overnight. No debris collecting in the bowl after rain. No mess to deal with before the next fire. Just lift the lid, light it, enjoy it, and cover it back up. Done.
A discreet drainage hole at the base prevents water from pooling inside during wet weather, keeping the bowl clean and ready for the next use without any intervention on your part. Like every product in this range, the Vault is built from genuine Corten weathering steel — developing a rich, self-protecting rust-bronze patina over its first few months outdoors that only deepens with time.
At 33.4 kg with a 1000 mm footprint, the Vault has real presence and real permanence. It's the fire pit for people who want something that looks like it was designed, not just purchased.

Why This Fire Pit Is Worth It
The lid solves a problem every fire pit owner has. After a fire, you're left with ash, embers, and an open bowl that collects wind, leaves, and rain overnight. The Vault's matching lid puts a full stop on the evening cleanly — cover it up, walk inside, deal with it tomorrow on your terms. No other fire pit in this range does that.
1000 mm is a serious firebox. This isn't a modest bowl — it's wide enough to hold a proper wood fire that heats a real gathering. The generous diameter means the fire has room to breathe, build, and perform. Compared to the Ember at 800 mm, the Vault gives you an extra 200 mm of burning space, which makes a noticeable difference in heat output and fire presence.
The drainage hole is a small detail that earns its keep every winter. Without it, a covered fire pit can collect rainwater and sit damp for days. The Vault drains itself, which means it's always ready for the next use without needing to bail it out first.
The clean cylindrical form works in any landscape style. No cut patterns, no tribal motifs, no ornamentation — just a precise circle of Corten steel. That restraint is intentional, and it works: the Vault suits contemporary landscape design, native garden settings, and classic garden styles equally well.
Corten steel at this diameter ages spectacularly. A 1000 mm circle of rust-bronze patina is a genuinely beautiful thing in a garden. In twelve months, the Vault will look like part of the landscape — warm, grounded, and permanent.
