Frequently Asked Questions

How much fire glass for a 36" fire pit?

A 36" round fire pit at 2" depth needs about 27 lbs of fire glass or 6 bags (5 lb bags).

Can I mix fire glass colors?

Yes. Purchase separate bags and layer or mix for custom looks. Most installations use 1-2 colors.

What depth of fire glass do I need?

2" is standard for gas fire pits. Too little exposes the burner; too much wastes fuel and glass.
