How much lava rock does my bag cover?
1. Each five-pound bag covers approximately 0.24 square feet.
2. Each ten-pound bag covers approximately 0.5 square feet.
3. Each twenty-five-pound bag covers approximately 1.16 square feet.
How much lava rock does my fire pit need?
1. For rectangular fire pits – (desired glass height x depth x length) / 19 = pounds needed
2. For round fire pits – (desired glass height x diameter x diameter) / 19 = pounds needed
Instructions for use:
Upon receiving your bag of premium lava rock, we recommend tearing from the side towards the top of
the bag or cutting the top with scissors. Since the pebbles are gathered from the lava fields and tumbled
to create a consistent shape and size there may be some additional dust in the bag. Take a large bucket
and pour the contents into the bucket. Rinse off the lava rock to remove unwanted dust created during
shipping. Empty contents of the bucket on a towel and allow a few hours to dry.
Now that your lava rock is clean, you are ready to prepare your fire pit. Lava pebbles can be used in
natural gas or propane fire applications and unlike other lava rock or cinder rock on the market, lava
pebbles will not crumble or break down in size. It is our suggestion for the most unique look to use lava
pebbles for use in propane or natural-gas fire pits. We suggest an inch layer of sand or pea gravel on the
bottom of the fire pit for a sturdy foundation. Next, take your lava rocks and place around the fire pit
and burner so it fills just enough rock to cover the burner. You are now ready to lite your firepit.
Instructions for care:
Lava rock is suitable for use in all indoor and outdoor propane or natural gas firepits and can also be
used indoors and outdoors in all your landscaping and special project needs. Lava rock is maintenance
free but we do recommend the rock is removed from your firepit once a year and rinsed off with clean
water. If your lava rock is subjected in prolong sun exposure it is recommended to cover your firepit
when not in use.
