Verdeluxe 32631A (35 Inch, Octagonal, Luminous)

Octagonal Wood-burning Firepit

From: Verdeluxe

The Verdelxue 35 Inch Octagonal Fire Pit is a two-in-one outdoor heater and grill made from powder-coated steel. It measures 88.9cm wide and 45.7cm tall, giving it a solid footprint for garden patios, camping trips or backyard get-togethers. The octagonal shape sets it apart from round fire pits and gives it a distinct look.

Each side panel has a star pattern cut-out, which is not just decorative. These holes work with bottom protrusions to pull in air, so the wood burns hotter and cleaner. A rectangular grill measuring 67.3cm by 25.4cm sits on top, letting you cook food while the fire heats the area around you.

Four legs sit symmetrically under an octagonal foot pedal ring, which keeps the unit steady and gives you a safe spot to rest your feet near the flames. The whole thing weighs 13.97kg and comes with a fire poker, instructions and all fixings needed for assembly.

Product Features

Dual-Purpose Design - This fire pit works as both a heater and a barbecue. The included grill measures 67.3cm by 25.4cm and sits directly over the flames. That means you can cook sausages or roast marshmallows while staying warm, without needing a separate barbecue unit taking up space in the garden. Ventilated Side Panels - The star-pattern cut-outs on each panel aren't just for looks. They let air flow through to the fire and combined with the raised protrusions on the base, this creates better airflow underneath the wood. Better airflow means the wood burns more completely and produces less smoke. Powder-Coated Steel Build - The steel body is finished with a high-temperature powder coating. This coating is applied to resist rust from rain and damp garden conditions. Since fire pits sit outside all year, a rust-resistant finish adds years to how long the unit lasts before it needs replacing.

Octagonal Foot Pedal Ring - Running around the base is a raised octagonal ring that acts as a foot rest. It keeps your feet a set distance from the fire box itself, reducing the chance of burns from getting too close, while still letting you feel the heat while sitting nearby. Symmetrical Four-Leg Base - The four legs are placed evenly under the fire pit body, spreading the weight out so the unit doesn't wobble on grass, patio slabs or gravel. A stable base matters most when the fire pit is full of burning wood and people are sitting close by. Simple Assembly Process - Every part needed comes in the box, including a fire poker and all screws and Verdeluxe say it takes around 30 minutes to put together. The instructions ask you to leave screws loose until every part is connected, then tighten everything at the end for a firm fit.

FAQs

What size is this fire pit and how much space does it need?

The fire pit measures 88.9cm in both width and depth and stands 45.7cm tall. Because of this size, it's best placed on a flat, open area with at least a metre of clearance on all sides, away from fences, sheds or overhanging trees. Always check for a solid, non-flammable surface underneath before lighting it, such as paving slabs, gravel or a fire pit mat.

Can I use this fire pit for cooking as well as heating?

Yes. It comes with a rectangular cooking grill that measures 67.3cm by 25.4cm, which sits over the fire box. This lets you grill food such as sausages, vegetables or meat while the fire is burning, so you get heat and cooking from the same unit at the same time. This is one of the main selling points listed by Verdeluxe for this model.

How long does assembly take and is it difficult?

Verdeluxe state that assembly takes around 30 minutes. The package includes the fire pit, a fire poker, an instruction manual and every part needed for assembly, including a wrench. Customer reviews note that screws should not be tightened fully until all pieces are connected, as stated in the instructions, after which everything should line up correctly.

Is this fire pit likely to rust over time?

The steel body has a high-temperature powder coating specifically applied for rust resistance. This type of coating is more durable than standard paint and better suited to outdoor use in UK weather, where rain and damp conditions are common. That said, no coating is fully permanent, so covering the fire pit when not in use will extend its lifespan further.

How much wood can I burn in it at once?

Reviewers mention conflicting figures, with instructions reportedly stating a limit of around 2.3kg of wood at a time, though some customers report burning larger loads for several hours without issue. As a general rule, starting with smaller amounts of wood and adding more gradually is safer than overloading the fire box from the start.

What is the fire pit made from and how heavy is it?

It's made from iron and steel with a painted finish and weighs 13.97kg. This is light enough to move around the garden by one person but heavy enough to stay stable during use, particularly with the symmetrical four-leg base design supporting the weight evenly.

Is this fire pit suitable for small children to be near?

The product includes a choking hazard warning due to small parts, meaning it's not suitable for children under 3 years old during assembly or handling of components. Once assembled and in use, as with any open fire, children should always be supervised closely and kept at a safe distance from the flames and hot metal surfaces.

What colour and style options are available?

This particular model comes in a Luminous finish, though Verdeluxe also offer a Dynamic Infinity colourway on the same shape. The design features an octagonal shape with star-pattern cut-outs on each side panel, giving it a distinct look compared to plain round or square fire pits.
