Custom Color Options
Crete Design offers custom color matching using Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams color codes. This provides additional flexibility when coordinating the fire bowl with an existing outdoor space or design project.
Handcrafted Construction
Every Rund is handmade by Crete Design in Wisconsin. Because the concrete is individually crafted, natural variations in color, texture, surface character, and dimensions can occur. Crete Design states that measurements are within 1/2 inch of the specified dimensions.
Care and Maintenance
Concrete requires routine care to maintain its appearance. Clean the surface with mild soap and avoid allowing the concrete to remain wet for extended periods. When rain is expected, cover the fire bowl and allow the concrete to dry before covering it.
Natural characteristics such as spotting, hairline cracking, efflorescence, and scratches may develop with exposure and normal use. These characteristics are common with GFRC and handcrafted concrete.
Excessive heat may cause concrete to crack. Crete Design recommends not operating the burner on high above 65,000 BTUs for more than one hour at a time. A wind guard is also recommended, and burner jets should not be covered while the burner is operating.
Round Fire Pit Cover Compatibility
The Rund is compatible with Crete Design's Round Fire Pit Cover, providing an option for covering the fire feature when it is not in use.
Shipping and Support
Crete Design offers flat-rate shipping within the United States and Canada. The manufacturer states that orders are sent for delivery within approximately 4–6 weeks, with typical delivery occurring within 4–5 days after shipment.
Crete Design also provides technical assistance for the life of the product.
Important Installation Note
Fire features should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and applicable local building, fire, and fuel-gas requirements. Confirm the selected fuel configuration and installation requirements before installation.
