Overview
Bring warmth, texture, and versatile functionality to your outdoor living space with the Preston 44" Rectangular Basketweave Aluminum Convertible Gas Fire Pit.
Designed with an ornate splitwood-inspired woven motif, the Preston combines the visual character of traditional outdoor furniture with the clean proportions of a contemporary rectangular fire table. Its brushed Antique Bronze finish adds warmth while the aluminum construction keeps the design practical for outdoor living.
At the center, a 45,000 BTU steel burner produces an adjustable flame surrounded by included clear “droplet” fire glass. Electronic ignition provides convenient startup according to the manufacturer's operating instructions.
The burner is designed to convert from LPG to natural gas, providing additional fuel flexibility when properly configured with the required manufacturer-approved components.
For propane operation, a standard 20 lbs. LPG cylinder stores beneath the table and remains accessible through a hinged door.
When the burner is off and the entire fire area has completely cooled, install the included aluminum fire-bowl lid to create additional tabletop surface.

Why This Product Stands Out
The Preston combines four attributes that make it more than a basic rectangular propane fire table.
SPLITWOOD-WOVEN DESIGN
The basketweave motif creates the appearance of dimensional, furniture-inspired craftsmanship.
45,000 BTU ADJUSTABLE FIRE
A substantial central flame creates an inviting outdoor focal point.
DUAL-FUEL CAPABILITY
The burner can be configured for LPG or natural gas.
CONVERTIBLE TABLE FUNCTION
The included lid lets the center opening become additional tabletop surface after complete cooldown.
TEXTURED DESIGN + FUEL FLEXIBILITY + CONVERTIBLE OUTDOOR LIVING
45,000 BTU Adjustable Flame
The Preston provides:
45,000 BTU
of rated burner output.
Its adjustable flame allows customers to control the visual fire presentation within the appliance's operating range.
Actual warmth outdoors will depend on:
Ambient Temperature • Wind • Seating Distance • Flame Setting • Patio Layout • Surrounding Conditions
LPG / Natural Gas Convertible
The Preston's burner is designed to convert from:
LPG / PROPANE
to:
NATURAL GAS
when properly configured.
For customers with access to a suitable natural-gas supply, this provides an alternative to repeatedly replacing propane cylinders.
Before planning an NG installation, customers should confirm the required:
- Conversion components
- Orifices
- Regulator requirements
- Gas connections
- Supply pressure
- Installation procedure
for the exact Preston model.
Never operate the appliance on a fuel type for which it has not been properly configured.
Electronic Ignition
The Preston features a:
STEEL BURNER WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION
The electronic system provides convenient startup when the fire pit is properly connected, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer instructions.
Rather than promising guaranteed or instant ignition under every condition, it is more accurate to position this feature as:
CONVENIENT ELECTRONIC IGNITION
Splitwood Basketweave Design
The Preston's signature visual feature is its:
ORNATE SPLITWOOD-WOVEN MOTIF
The pattern gives the tabletop more texture and visual depth than a conventional smooth aluminum fire table.
Paired with the:
ANTIQUE BRONZE FINISH
the Preston works particularly well with:
Wicker Seating • Cast-Aluminum Furniture • Traditional Patio Collections • Transitional Outdoor Spaces • Bronze-Tone Furniture
Important Material Distinction
The Preston is constructed from:
ALUMINUM
Rectangular Conversation Design
The Preston measures:
43.9" L × 31.9" W × 24.6" H
Its rectangular proportions make it particularly useful with:
Outdoor Sofas • Loveseats • Sectionals • Paired Club Chairs • Conversation Sets
The 43.9-inch length provides useful tabletop area without moving into the footprint of a larger 50"-plus rectangular fire table.
Convertible Fire Pit & Patio Table
The Preston includes a:
CONVENIENT ALUMINUM FIRE-BOWL LID
After the flame is extinguished and the burner and fire glass are completely cool, the lid covers the central fire opening.
This gives the Preston two practical uses:
FIRE MODE
Adjustable gas flame surrounded by clear fire glass.
TABLE MODE
Covered center opening for additional tabletop surface.
Important
The fire-bowl lid is not designed to extinguish the flame.
Never install it over an operating, hot, or still-cooling burner.
Clear “Droplet” Fire Glass Included
The Preston arrives with:
CLEAR DROPLET FIRE GLASS
The transparent fire media adds a polished accent around the flame while contrasting with the Antique Bronze finish.
Only approved fire media should be used.
Arrange the glass according to manufacturer instructions and avoid improperly obstructing burner ports or ignition components.
Concealed 20 lbs. Propane Tank
When configured for LPG operation, the Preston uses a:
STANDARD 20 LBS. PROPANE CYLINDER
The cylinder stores beneath the table and remains accessible through the:
HINGED DOOR
This integrated design keeps the fuel source largely out of sight.
20 LBS. PROPANE TANK NOT INCLUDED
Protective Fire Pit Cover Included
A:
NYLON FIRE PIT COVER
is included for appropriate periods of non-use.
Never install the cover while the fire table is:
Operating • Hot • Still Cooling
Allow the burner, fire glass, and surrounding surfaces to cool completely before covering.
