With the cooler temperatures coming on and for some, an end to backyard living, this week's tech talk we should talk about winter maintenance of your fire features. Winter for most of us means harsh temperatures and much more time spent inside. It's also time to maintain/winterize your outdoor fire features.

Gas Fire Pits

Turn Off Gas Supply: If not using during winter, turn off the gas line.

Clean Thoroughly: Remove any debris, dust, or buildup.

Cover It: Use a weather-resistant cover to protect from snow and ice.

Check Components: Inspect burners, ignition systems, and connections.

Concrete Fire Pits

Drainage: Ensure water can drain from the fire pit to prevent freeze damage.

Covering: A quality cover protects the surface from harsh winter weather.

Regular Checks: Periodically remove snow buildup.

Spring Preparation

Come spring, inspect all components before first use and clean thoroughly.

Dekko fire pits are built to withstand harsh weather with proper care.
