Firegear Sanctuary Liquid Propane Tank Enclosure Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sanctuary Liquid Propane Tank Enclosure and what is it used for?
This enclosure is designed to hide a standard 20-lb (5-gallon) liquid propane (LP) tank, creating a clean, finished look for outdoor fire features like those in the Sanctuary series. It turns the propane tank into a stylish pedestal or end-table while maintaining accessibility for tank replacement.
What are the material, size and finish details?
The unit is constructed from high-strength glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), offering durability and weather resistance. Approximate dimensions: 20″ W × 20″ D × ~21½″ H (varies slightly by model/finish). Finishes offered include natural stone-like textures and colors such as Arctic, Chocolate, Raven, Slate, and more to match other Sanctuary-series fire tables.
How does it accommodate the propane tank and is it easy to access?
The lid is removable so you can easily swap out the 20-lb tank when needed. The enclosure is sized to fit the tank, while the top can function as an end table surface when the tank is hidden inside.
Where and how should it be installed or placed in my outdoor space?
Place on a level, stable surface adjacent to your fire table or outdoor fire feature. Ensure clearance for venting or access as required by your fire feature setup. The enclosure can also double as an end-table, so consider positioning near seating for dual function. Keep it away from direct high heat sources or combustible materials.
Is this enclosure suitable for year-round outdoor use and what maintenance is required?
Yes — the GFRC construction is built to withstand outdoor weather conditions including UV, rain and seasonal changes. For longevity, clean with mild soap and water, avoid dropping heavy objects on it, and check the lid for fit and seal. Covering it during extreme weather may help maintain finish.
What should I check or measure before purchasing this enclosure?
Measure your existing or intended fire feature base and space to ensure the 20″ W × ~21½″ H size fits your layout. Confirm the enclosure finish matches or complements your fire table or patio furniture. Ensure you have access to the tank door/lid clearance and that the tank size is standard 20-lb. Also check shipping lead time as GFRC large items may require freight delivery.
