Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a steel insert for this fire pit kit?

Yes. While the concrete blocks handle structural weight and ground contact, a steel fire ring insert is strongly recommended to line the 29 1/8-inch interior diameter. The steel liner protects the split-face concrete from direct, prolonged exposure to open flames, preventing thermal shock and premature degradation of the stone. Watson Materials stocks the compatible steel ring separately.

Is mortar required to assemble the Valencia kit?

No mortar is necessary for the vertical stacking of the blocks. We recommend using a heavy-duty exterior concrete landscape adhesive between the course layers during assembly to ensure permanent stability and safety.

Do the bluestone caps shown in sample photos come included?

No. The bluestone coping cap is sold separately from the core kit. Please contact our office if you would like to add custom coping stones to your order.

How should I handle delivery and job-site pickup for this kit?

Prices shown on our storefront are for yard pickup at our East Greenwich facility. If job-site delivery is required throughout Rhode Island and southern New England, please add delivery options directly to your order. We coordinate dispatches efficiently within a week, barring manufacturer backorders.

Pro Contractor Tip

When building your Valencia fire pit kit, ensure the foundational base is excavated 4 to 6 inches deep, filled with compacted crushed stone aggregate (such as ¾-inch minus dense-graded stone), and screeded perfectly flat. Leveling the base course is critical to preventing differential settling and keeping subsequent vertical block courses plumb and tight.
