Prism Hardscapes Rotondo Series Fire Bowl

Yes, it is designed for permanent placement. Given its 433-pound weight and substantial 80-inch diameter, it is intended to serve as a fixed, grand centerpiece for your patio or backyard rather than a portable fire feature.

The unit is compatible with both propane and natural gas, but you must specify your fuel type at the time of purchase to ensure you receive the correct burner configuration. Professional installation by a licensed gas technician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and proper gas pressure.

The glass fiber reinforced cement is highly durable, but because each piece features a unique, hand-applied patina, slight variations in color and texture are expected. Over time, exposure to the elements may subtly evolve the finish, which is a natural characteristic of this material.

The match-lit system is a manual ignition that offers simplicity and reliability with no electrical components to maintain. The electronic ignition allows you to light the fire bowl with the flip of a switch or remote, providing greater convenience but requiring a dedicated electrical connection.

This is a high-output burner designed specifically for large, open-air spaces. If your patio is compact, the heat intensity may be overwhelming; it is best suited for expansive outdoor living areas where the heat can dissipate comfortably.

While the unit includes 54 lbs of lava rock, you can use fire glass if you prefer a different aesthetic. However, ensure the glass is rated for high-heat fire features and do not cover the burner ports, as this can impede gas flow and damage the stainless steel star burner.
