About Hexa Plus Firepit
Hexa Plus is a firepit designed for gardens and outdoor spaces. The hexagonal form suits a group of six to ten people gathered around a fire. The design combines a fire bowl with a cooking hob and a grill that can be set at two heights. The hob is made of 10 mm steel sheet for even heating and good thermal inertia. A support holds a boiler above the fire, and a cut logo on the side of the tank supplies air for combustion. Adjustable feet keep the product stable and level. The body is made of laser cut sheet metal that is bent, welded and coated with electrostatic paint.
