Gallaway Fire Pit in Corten steel: a square fire pit that rusts on purpose
The Outdoor Plus Gallaway fire pit in Corten steel is a square gas fire pit whose finish is the weather itself. Corten rusts on the surface, then that layer seals and protects the steel underneath, so the orange patina is the point, not a flaw. Choose 42, 48, or 60 inches.
Order it for natural gas or propane. Light it with a match, or add electronic ignition and start it with a button. The burner, fire pan, hose, fittings, and lava rock are included; a wind guard, lid, cover, and fire glass are optional. Want a fixed color? See the Gallaway fire pit in powder coat. The Corten Gallaway fire pit ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
Is the rust on the Corten Gallaway a defect or a feature?
A feature — the whole point, in fact. Corten weathering steel oxidizes on the surface, then that oxide layer seals and protects the metal beneath. Your Gallaway arrives pre-patina and develops its final rust-orange character outdoors, giving you an industrial-organic look no coating can fake.
How long does the weathered look take to develop?
Expect visible change within weeks outdoors and a settled, even patina over several months of wet-dry cycles — faster in rainy climates, slower in dry ones. One caution while the Gallaway cures: early oxide runoff can stain pale concrete below, so stage it over gravel or darker stone at first.
What sizes does the Corten Gallaway come in?
Three rounds: 42-inch (OPT-GALCS42), 48-inch (OPT-GALCS48), and 60-inch (OPT-GALCS60). Corten has serious visual weight, so the 42-inch reads bolder than its dimensions suggest — nice for small courtyards — while the 60-inch Gallaway makes an unapologetic statement piece.
Can I run it on a wooden deck?
Gas helps your case — the Gallaway throws no sparks or embers — but Corten plus radiant heat still demands respect on wood. Use a non-combustible barrier under and around it, mind the staining issue during early weathering, and clear the setup with the spec sheet and local code.
How warm does it actually get?
Like any gas burner, the Gallaway flame burns north of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit at its core, and the steel bowl itself radiates heat once it warms up — part of what makes a metal fire pit feel so generous on a cold night. Flame height at the key valve sets your comfort level.
Is a covered patio installation possible?
Only with genuine ventilation and overhead clearance — think open-sided pergola, not a roofed room. Combustion needs air and heat needs an exit, so measure the space against the Gallaway clearance specs and have your local inspector confirm before you commit to placement under any structure.
Which fuels can I order it in?
Liquid Propane or Natural Gas — every Corten Gallaway is built to order for the fuel you specify at checkout, the standard practice across our gas fire pit range. Propane offers placement freedom; natural gas means never swapping tanks.
