Cons of Landmann Fire Pits
Like all other fire pits it’s very difficult to find one that is 100% perfect. Landmann fire pits are quality fire pits and production has only improved with years bit that does not mean you will not find some problems with some of these fire pits.
The cons are different with each customer but some of the most common complaints are;
- Paint peeling and rusting-Landmann fire pits come already rust proofed but the coat in most of them is thin so it will likely wear off after few uses and exposure to the elements.
- Missing screws and bolts.
- Denting and damage– When the package is not handled with care or when it’s not packaged properly.
How to Ensure Your Landmann Fire Pit’s Durability
When you go over the negative reviews, you will notice that a good number of them claim that their Landmann fire pits did not last long after being left outside. I don’t know what one would expect of these fire pits because even though they are meant for the outdoors, they are made of steel and steel does not do very well when exposed to the elements for long periods of time.
Despite the fact that the fire pits come with high temperature/rust proof paint this will definitely wear off with time with continued use, let alone when left at the mercy of nature’s elements. When you leave your fire pit outside, you are just speeding the process of wear exponentially thereby decreasing the life span of your fire pit drastically.
Landmann fire pits are quality fire pits, sure, but even the best of quality things wear of when not properly taken care of. So if you want your Landmann fire pit to serve you beyond just a few seasons this is what you do;
-
Invest in a fire pit cover as you buy your fire pit.
I cannot stress the importance of this. Most Landmann fire pits do not come with a fire pit cover so do yourself a favor and buy one as you buy your fire pit.
If you don’t buy a cover, then you can be 100% sure your fire pit will not last- and you can quote me on that.
A fire pit is important in keeping unwanted materials, debris and moisture in your fire pit when it’s not in use.
There is no shortage of fire pit covers in the market but some of them are also not durable and effective in protecting your fire pit. You can take a look at our list of top rated fire pit covers and see some of the best and preferred covers in the market.
-
Don’t leave your fire pit outside.
Having a cover is well and good but leaving your fire pit exposed outside will most likely lead to a waste of your fire pit money. Moreover, most covers are not water proof so even with a fire pit outside, your fire pit is vulnerable. Landmann fire pits are light in weight so they can easily be moved when not in use so there’s no reason to leave your fire pit to weather elements.
-
Apply rustproof paint/spray before use and regularly afterwards.
As mentioned earlier, Landmann fire pits do come painted with a high temperature paint and spay but in most cases it’s thin and will most likely wear off early during your fire pit usage. You can wait for the paint to wear off then repaint it again or you can just paint another layer on top of the existing one- which is what I would recommend as there is no problem with double rust-proofing.
It’s imperative you regularly apply the paint as part of the care and maintenance of your fire pit because of the regular heat exposure and humidity which is bound to affect the existing paint on the fire pit.
