About DeckProtect™
Your deck could be TOAST when you put a fire pit on it.
There is a good reason why contractors and decking manufacturers say you can’t use a fire pit on a deck: They don’t know about DeckProtect.
Not all fire pits will cause this much damage to a wood deck.
Or this much damage to a composite deck.
Or this much damage to PVC decking.
But most fire pits will cause some damage to a deck
from light scorching to some melting and disfigurement of the plastic textured surface to the kind of damage shown above. Of course heat rises, but it also radiates downward. The heat under the fire bowl of a fire pit can reach 500 degrees Fahrenheit with some fire pits and over 200 degrees with others. The embossed surface of composite decking will soften at 170 degrees.
Your deck is safe with DeckProtect.
No fire pit will cause any damage to your deck when placed on a DeckProtect.
Compare to Competitors
DeckProtect™ is not designed to protect your lawn. There are competitive products made of steel with legs that look a little like this illustration. This type of protector will do a good job of protecting your lawn under a fire pit, but we believe that DeckProtect has important advantages over this type of protector.
(1.) DeckProtect™ is available in many different sizes and shapes including custom sizes as well as four different powder coat colors.
(2.) The DeckProtect™ frame rests on hard rubber feet that cannot conduct heat to the deck.
(3.) DeckProtect™ will not get hot to the touch… no danger of burning your leg if you get too close.
(4.) DeckProtect™ is the only solution that takes advantage of the amazing properties of basalt — volcanic rock — to block the heat under a fire pit.
(5.) DeckProtect™ is the only product that is actually recommended by the leading manufacturer … or any manufacturer … of composite Decking.
(6.) The fire pit cannot possibly slide off DeckProtect™ and fall on the deck.
(7.) DeckProtect™ is low profile and unobtrusive. and
(8.) DeckProtect™ has unparalleled customer service. If you have a question or an issue, you will hear from the owner of company.
How DeckProtect Works
DeckProtect™ is engineered to block the heat under a hot fire pit. Two layers of a fire-proof fibrous board made from a type of volcanic rock known as basalt keep the heat from reaching your deck.
Hard rubber feet raise the DeckProtect frame above the deck to allow for air flow and ensure that your deck will not become stained from trapped moisture.
There are other products that are promoted for protecting your deck under a fire pit. However, no other product has the same engineering, the same track record, the same recommendations, or the same reputation as DeckProtect™.
