IMPORTANT:
BE SURE TO READ ALL SAFETY
GUIDELINES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR USING YOUR EP HENRY FIRE PIT.
COMPONENTS:
Please make sure all components are in place before
you begin to assemble. Your EP Henry Fire Pit Kit
should contain the following items:
• One (1) copper fire pit bowl
• One (1) screened cover
• Two (2) grills – one (1) small for burning
wood and one (1) large for cooking
• One (1) poker
• Four (4) semi-circular charcoal colored
caps for the top of the fire pit wall
• One hundred twelve (112) tapered fire pit
wall blocks on a separate pallet
Contact your EP Henry Authorized Hardscaping
Distributor® immediately if any components
are missing or damaged upon opening. Proof
of purchase must be provided for any claim to
be recognized.
GETTING STARTED:
When building the fire pit wall, arrange the first
course of tapered fire pit wall block in a circle,
making sure that all of the units are fitted tightly
together. Orient all of the blocks so that the narrow
vertical face of the block is on the inside of the circle.
Each course will require 16 blocks to complete. You
can build the fire pit wall 7 courses high or to a lower
height if so desired. The fire pit wall will have an
inside diameter of 30-1/2” and an outside diameter
of 48”. The wall cap has an inside diameter of 32”
and an outside diameter of 50”. This fire pit is not
designed nor intended to be expanded beyond these
stated dimensions.
High strength heat resistant concrete adhesives are
recommended for gluing the fire pit block together
and if desired, for attaching the cap units* to the top
of the fire pit wall (see Fire Bowl Drainage and
Construction Options first). Make sure all units are
dry and dust free before applying adhesives. All
adhesive should be applied on the upward facing
horizontal flat surface toward the outside of the units
to prevent it from over-heating and emitting toxic
fumes. It is recommended that any adhesive be
allowed to cure for at least 48 hours before lighting
a fire in the fire pit.
*It is recommended that the four (4) semi-circular
charcoal colored caps for the top of the fire pit wall
not be glued to the fire pit wall as that would
prevent easy removal of the fire bowl for dumping
accumulated rain water, cleaning, or debris
removal from the interior cavity of the fire pit. See
Fire Bowl Drainage and Construction Options for
more details.
MARKING OUT THE
CONSTRUCTION:
Establish the location where the fire pit is to be built.
Mark the center of that location. Then drive a stake
into the ground or hold a pin at the center point of
that location. If you are building your fire pit on a
concrete slab or paver surface, tether a line 24” or
slightly longer to that center point with a marking
device tied at the opposite end and follow directions
under step #1. If you are building your fire pit in an
open area on the ground, your excavation and
compacted stone base needs to exceed the exterior
circumference of the fire pit by 6”on all sides so you
will need a line that is 30” or longer and follow
directions under step #2. Carefully swing the
marking device around the center point keeping it
vertically aligned and mark out the circular exterior
dimension of the fire pit construction. If you are
constructing the fire pit on a solid surface that will
remain exposed, do not use a permanent marker.
