Heat from Fire pit-How close to vinyl siding can a fire pit be placed?

How close to vinyl siding can a fire pit be placed. Do not want to damage the siding.
We have the Real Flame rectangular fire table, and the fibreglass has cracked and chipped worse every year due to the Canadian climate. Our first attempt to mask the damage was to use 3 stain colours to do a faux marbling of the table, which looked awesome for one summer (then the table chipped and cracked further during the winter [stored inside the garage]). Last year, we fiberglassed the areas with missing chunks and the larger cracks. Pulled it out this spring to see that those have also peeled and lifted. Our next attempt will be to build a cedar cover for it that can lift on/off. We’re thinking of using the thin cedar slays that you see on houses, leaving small gaps between slats, and then we can just vacuum off the new chips each year, but at least it’ll be nice to look at. Note that our table has glass panels that will act as a barrier between the fire and the wood.
I have a similar problem with my "fiber reinforced concrete" gas firepit.
It was suggested to me that I clean all of the cracked bits off, then seal the entire top with EPOXY RESIN, then sand & paint it with high heat paint (engine paint or furnace paint). From my little bit of researching, epoxy resin seems to be heat resistant & fire proof. Any thoughts?
