36-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl in reclaimed wood: plank grain cast in concrete
The American Fyre Designs 36-inch Bordeaux square fire bowl in reclaimed wood has curved sides and measures 36 inches across and 15 inches tall. It is cast in concrete reinforced with glass fibers, with a weathered plank texture wrapped around the body, complete with seams and board ends. Choose an oak or pine wood-look finish over a black lava base. Concrete never rots or splinters, so you get the wood look with no upkeep.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Turn the knob and press the igniter to light it, or add the Fyrestarter Bluetooth control and start it from your phone. A 16 inch stainless steel star burner sits under the opening. The burner, pan, fittings, and lava granules are included, and you pick the fill on the page: lava, fire glass, or glass gems. A cover and a side table that hides a propane tank are optional. Prefer plain concrete? See the 36-inch Bordeaux square in seven concrete colors.

FAQ
Why give a square fire bowl a weathered-wood finish?
Because the contrast works. The Bordeaux’s silhouette is strict – straight sides, crisp corners – and the Reclaimed Wood treatment overlays that geometry with the warmth of plank texture and grain. The pairing lets one piece speak both languages: architectural enough for a modern hardscape, weathered enough to soften it. On a square form the effect lands harder than on a round one, where the geometry is gentler to begin with.
What makes the plank texture work with the black lava tone?
The Reclaimed Wood Collection pairs its plank-textured finish with black lava coloring, and that contrast is the styling engine: warm, grain-marked surfaces reading against a deep, matte dark. Firelight exaggerates the effect, catching the texture while the dark tone recedes. If your patio palette runs to charcoal pavers or black-framed furniture, this bowl ties the scheme together.
How much space does the Reclaimed Wood Bordeaux need?
Plan around a 36-inch square footprint standing 15.25 inches tall, plus circulation room on each side you want to walk past. The bowl carries mid-rise height – enough presence to anchor a seating group, low enough to see across – so most patios accommodate it with chairs on two or three sides and a clear approach on the rest.
What burner, fuel, and ignition come with this bowl?
A 16-inch stainless steel star burner, your choice of natural gas or propane versions, and either a manual flame sensing control or the optional Bluetooth-enabled FyreStarter electronic ignition. The unit is certified to ANSI standards. In short, the fire system matches the standard Bordeaux – the Reclaimed Wood edition changes the skin, not the machinery.
How do you care for the wood-textured concrete surface?
Like concrete, not like wood – which is the point. The texture is cast permanently into the glass fiber reinforced concrete shell, so upkeep never involves wood treatments of any kind. An occasional rinse and wipe keeps the finish clean, and heat from the burner cannot char or lift the grain because there is no actual timber to damage. Owning it is no different from owning any concrete bowl – only the look says otherwise.
What furniture pairs well with the Reclaimed Wood Bordeaux?
Mix, do not match. Setting it beside slatted-wood furniture can read as imitation; it does better against contrast – black or bronze metal frames, stone-toned cushions, clean-lined seating that lets the plank texture be the one rustic note. It is a natural anchor among concrete fire pit designs for patios that want warmth without going full farmhouse.
Should I pick Reclaimed Wood or the standard GFRC Bordeaux?
Same bowl, two temperaments. The standard finish keeps the Bordeaux quiet and architectural, disappearing into a minimalist hardscape; the Reclaimed Wood edition turns the same 36-inch square into a textural focal point that draws the eye even unlit. Decide whether the fire feature should blend with your patio’s materials or stand apart from them – that answer picks the finish for you.
How many guests can gather around a 36-inch square bowl?
Square bowls organize seating by sides rather than by circle. The 36-inch Bordeaux comfortably hosts a chair or two along each open side – roughly four to six people in easy conversation range – with the geometry keeping every seat squarely facing the flame. Leave one side open as the approach and the arrangement stays effortless.
