Thank you for purchasing an Outdoor GreatRoom Company fire pit or outdoor kitchen. This
guide will help inform you about some unique characteristics of a Glass-Fiber reinforced
concrete top and help you keep it looking like new for years to come.
What makes a concrete top unique? : What makes a concrete top unique? : What makes a concrete top unique? : What makes a concrete top unique? :
Your top is molded from Portland cement concrete which is reinforced with glass fibers to
provide exceptional strength and durability compared to traditional concrete.
You may notice color variations in your fire pit or outdoor kitchen countertop. This is
intentionally done during the molding process in order to create a unique natural appearance
which mimics natural stone. One factor that may slightly affect coloration is thickness. On fire
pits, the burner cover may appear slightly different than the rest of the top due to the difference
in thickness.
Due to the physical properties of concrete, small hairline cracks may appear in the surface over
time. This is normal and does not affect structural integrity of the top. If cracking is severe or
deep, repair or replacement may be required.
A minimum of two coats of solvent based acrylic sealer are applied before shipping. Because of
varying porosity in concrete sealer, it may be absorbed differently throughout the top. Due to
this you may notice varying luster.

To keep your fire pit or outdoor kitchen top looking new, we recommend the following:
•
Keep fire pit tops covered when not in use
•
Protect tops from harsh weather and direct sunlight if possible (OGC offers covers for all
fire pits)
•
Minor surface scratches can be removed by re-sealing with SC-Sealer (Available for sale
by OGC)
•
If any colored liquids such as wine or soda are spilled on your top, clean off immediately
to avoid possible staining
•
We recommend cleaning your top regularly with a mild mixture of dish detergent and
warm water; rinse thoroughly
•
We recommend sealing your top as needed. If the top begins looking dull, clean and re-
seal with SC-SEALER available through Outdoor GreatRoom Co.
All tops are sealed initially with solvent-based sealers. A solvent-based sealer will accentuate
colors and produce a glossier surface compared to a water-based one.
