Why Austin Homeowners Choose Us for Their Custom Steel Fire Feature
A fire feature has to be built for safe, repeated use. Thin steel warps under repeated heat, a bad burner installation is a hazard, and the wrong finish starts flaking after one season. Here is how we do fire features right for Central Texas homes.
Welding Fire Features in Austin Since 2018
We have been fabricating steel fire pits, bowls, and fireplace surrounds for Austin-area homeowners since 2018, with a track record of pieces that look sharp and hold up through repeated use and Texas weather.
Licensed and Insured
Fire features carry a higher responsibility, and we take that seriously. We are licensed and insured, and we build every piece with proper clearances and safe gas line connections where needed.
Owner Involved on Every Job
The owner reviews the placement, the build, and the finish before the fire feature leaves the shop and before we leave your yard. Safety and quality get a personal check, not just a sign-off.
Workmanship Guarantee
Every fire feature we build is covered by our workmanship guarantee. If the steel, the welds, or the finish does not hold up the way it should because of how we built it, we make it right.
Free On-Site Consultations
We visit your patio, look at your layout and what is nearby, and talk through the best size, shape, and fuel type for your space. The consultation is free and helps us design a feature that is safe and fits the yard.
Built for Central Texas
We use thick steel rated for repeated heat cycles, high-heat coatings that do not blister in our sun, and safe clearances from decking and structures based on how our climate and wind behave.

WARM, SAFE, AND CUSTOM-WELDEDFew upgrades change how you use your backyard like a fire feature.

Fire Features We Build
We fabricate a wide range of steel fire features, all custom to your yard:
- Round and square steel fire bowls in a range of sizes.
- Wood-burning fire pits with proper airflow and a safe rim.
- Gas fire features with burner pans, lava rock, or fire glass.
- Steel fireplace surrounds and inserts for an outdoor hearth.
- Corten steel pieces that form a stable rust-colored patina on purpose.
Safety and Heat Comes First
A fire feature has to be built right, not just look good. We use thick steel that handles repeated heat without warping, weld the seams clean, and design a safe distance between the flame and the seating. For gas features, we run the line correctly and set up the burner with proper venting. We also place each fire pit with clearance from your home, fence, and any wood structures so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. Pair it with a steel pergola and the space works year round.
Finishes That Last in Austin
Heat and weather both work on metal, so the finish matters:
- High-heat coatings rated for fire that resist fading and rust.
- Corten steel that weathers to a warm, even patina and then holds steady.
- Thick raw steel that ages naturally for a rugged, modern look.
- Removable screens and covers to protect the feature between uses.

Get Started with Fire Features
Why Central Texas Weather Matters When Building a Steel Fire Feature
A steel fire pit in Austin deals with more than just the fire. Between intense summer heat, occasional freezes, and the humidity that follows our rainy periods, outdoor metal takes a beating. We choose materials and finishes with our specific climate in mind so your fire feature lasts and stays safe to use.
- Austin heat that reaches triple digits in summer, making high-heat coatings and thick steel wall construction non-negotiable for fire bowls and surrounds.
- Seasonal humidity and rain that corrode bare steel fast, handled with high-heat finishes rated for fire and Corten steel options that weather to a sealed, stable patina.
- Expansive clay soil under patios that can shift a built-in fire pit base over time, requiring a properly poured concrete pad as the base.
- Central Texas wind that can carry sparks, so we help you position your fire feature with the right setback from fences, structures, and dry grass.
- Service across Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Leander.
Steel Fire Pits & Fireplace Surrounds in Austin, TX FAQs
Will a steel fire pit rust?
All steel develops some patina around a fire, and that is part of the look for many designs. We build with thick steel that lasts for years even with the heat, and we offer Corten steel, which forms a stable rust-colored surface on purpose. For painted or coated bowls, we use high-heat finishes rated for fire.
Can I burn wood or do I need gas?
Both work. We build wood-burning bowls and pits with proper airflow, and we also build gas fire features with burner pans, lava rock or glass, and clean gas line connections. We talk through the pros of each so you pick what fits your yard and how you like to gather.
Should I choose a steel fire pit or a masonry one?
Steel gives you sleek bowls, sculptural shapes, and a modern look, and it goes in faster. Stone and brick fire features have a heavier, built-in feel. For a full masonry fire pit or fireplace, see our hardscaping and masonry page. We can also combine a steel insert with a stone surround.
