Northcote Pottery - Fire Pit Floor Protection Tray

Northcote Pottery - Fire Pit Floor Protection Tray

Safeguard your premium outdoor surfaces with the essential Northcote Pottery Fire Pit Floor Protection Tray. Expertly engineered for Australian homes, this highly functional accessory is designed to protect timber decking, delicate stone paving, and manicured lawns from heat damage, embers, and the natural rust run-off of weathering steel fire pits. Providing a stable, fire-safe barrier, this tray allows you to enjoy the warmth of an open fire with absolute peace of mind, ensuring your outdoor entertaining zone remains pristine and well-organised.

Crafted to combine protective utility with backyard style, the square tray is designed to be filled with your choice of decorative river stones, gravel, or pebbles. This creates an elegant, natural insulation barrier that absorbs intense radiant heat before it can reach the ground beneath. Built to withstand the elements, the tray features integrated drainage holes that allow rainwater to pass through easily, preventing waterlogging and keeping your stone filler clean and fresh throughout the seasons.

Best For:

• Timber Decks & Patios: An absolute necessity for elevating hot fire bowls off flammable wooden floorboards, preventing scorching and soot marking.
• Paved Alfresco Areas: Designed to catch charcoal embers and protect expensive limestone, sandstone, or concrete pavers from unsightly heat stains and oil spills.
• Lush Grass Lawns: Perfect for creating a temporary, safe barrier that stops intense heat from drying out and killing the grass beneath your fire pit.

Features & Benefits:

• Gravel or Stone Fillable: Designed to be filled with decorative stones or pebbles to create a custom, high-performance thermal insulation barrier.
• Integrated Drainage Holes: Fitted with built-in drainage paths that prevent standing water, keeping your gravel dry and free of mould or slime.
• Generous Protective Footprint: Spans a large square surface area, making it compatible with a wide range of round, square, or geometric fire bowls.
• Durable, Low-Profile Frame: Built with a strong, slimline border that sits flat against the floor, keeping your fire zone safe without creating a trip hazard.

Specifications & Dimensions:

This heavy-duty protective tray features a robust, low-profile design tailored for standard backyard and courtyard footprints:

• Protection Tray Dimensions: 85cm Width x 85cm Depth
• Water Management: Integrated bottom drainage holes
• Recommended Fill: Decorative river gravel, pebbles, or crushed stone (not included)

Logistics & Supply Data:

Please note: Ensure the protection tray is placed on a flat, level surface before filling with gravel or stones. It is highly recommended to fill the tray completely to the rim with stone material to achieve maximum heat insulation and stability for your fire pit.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order—they are custom made to order in Pakenham, VIC.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
