How much they rust is dependent on whether they are left outside in all weathers, how much they are used, how they are looked after. It can be re-painted. Rust does not affect use. Metal fire bowl surfaces can become very hot in use and will burn the skin if touched. Burning temperatures can be very high. We recommend the use of a chimenea guard when small children are present.
