    Covering Your Fire Pit + Fire Media

    Ever wonder what is the best way to cover your gas fire pit? We go through every option to give you insight on what we recommend. Buy Covers Here: https://montanafirepits.com/product-category/accessories-cat/covers/ Buy Fire Media Here: https://montanafirepits.com/product-category/fire-media/ Soft Cover Keeps the finish clean Great for covering fire pits with stacked up fire media over 5 inches, such as with gas logs Not considered necessary if you have a tabletop cover You may consider it for harsh winters, prolonged sunlight We recommend that you purchase your SOFT COVER after your fire pit is installed and your fire media is chosen The Advantage of Arbor Wood We at Montana Fire Pits have a favorite when it comes to covers; introducing our very own hand-made Arbor Wood Covers.
