Nothing beats gathering around a warm fire table in your backyard. A By the Yard fire table blends style and function, offering both a cozy heat source and a table for dining or relaxing outdoors. Built with maintenance-free recycled plastic, our fire tables resist extremes, cold, sun, snow, rain, and salt air, without fading, cracking, or peeling.

To keep your fire table performing at its best through every season, follow our simple maintenance guide.

Daily Use Best Practices

• Burn only gas fuel; never burn wood, paper, leaves or other debris
• Clear the burner and vents before each use
• Regularly inspect the burner ports and exhaust channels
• Check gas lines for dents, wear, cuts or leaks

These steps protect your investment and ensure safe operation all year long.

Preparing for Cold Weather

In colder months your fire table may be idle, but taking a few steps ensures it’s ready when spring returns:

1. Clean leaves and debris from the burner
2. Close the gas valve or shut off your natural gas line
3. Disconnect and remove the propane tank
4. Remove and store the glass wind guard
5. Place the burner plate cover on top
6. Remove glass gems and clean them in the dishwasher or by hand
7. Remove AAA batteries from the ignition module and store them
8. (Optional) Cover the table with a waterproof tarp or heavy-duty furniture cover

Since the plastic lumber withstands winter elements, covering is not required but offers extra protection for the burner components.

Spring Startup Guide

After winter or before first use in spring, perform a quick inspection and cleaning:

1. Remove burner cover and glass gems
2. Wipe the burner surface clean
3. Clear clogged burner ports with a toothpick
4. Disconnect and inspect the burner orifice for debris
5. Reattach the burner line with two-wrench tightening
6. Inspect all gas fittings and reconfirm tightness
7. Check spark module wiring and spark gap (approximate 3 mm)
8. Reconnect fuel supply and check for gas leaks or flame issues
9. Reinstall glass wind guard and clean with glass cleaner

Following these steps ensures reliable ignitions and a steady flame for all your outdoor gatherings.
