Gather around the glow with a fire pit

Are you thinking of making your outdoor spaces a bit cosier? Whether you're roasting marshmallows, sharing stories or simply soaking in the warmth of a gentle flame, a fire pit can transform your garden into a snug haven. Ready to set the scene for countless magical nights? Let’s dive into what makes fire pits a must-have.

Heat up your hangouts with a fire pit 

If you’re keen to spice up your backyard vibes and keep your outdoor hangouts buzzing, it’s time to think about adding a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace. These fiery features allow you to throw unforgettable gatherings and are also great for warming up the social atmosphere. Whether you’re planning to host a lively party or just chill out in nature, a fire pit or fireplace ensures the good times roll even when the temperature drops.

A cosy fire is also a sanctuary of tranquillity and intimacy, not just for the social butterflies among us. Picture this: a romantic evening in just you and your special someone, or maybe a solo retreat in your favourite outdoor rocker, a glass of wine in one hand, a captivating book in the other, all set against the soothing backdrop of crackling logs.

The many types of fire pits

Fire pits come in various designs, each suited to different settings and preferences. Here’s a breakdown of the types.

Fire basket

A fire basket is typically an open, cylindrical or square container with legs made of steel or cast iron. It holds firewood in a way that maximises airflow around the fuel, promoting a healthy burn. Fire baskets are portable and ideal for those who enjoy the rustic appeal of visible, crackling flames. They're great for garden parties or gatherings where the fire itself is a central spectacle, offering warmth and light to surrounding areas.

Fire bowl

Fire bowls are exactly as they sound — a bowl-shaped fire pit, usually made of metal or concrete, which can sit low to the ground or be elevated on a stand. They often have a simplistic, modern design, making them a stylish addition to contemporary outdoor spaces. Fire bowls are versatile, offering both a decorative and functional element. Some models come with lids and can double as a table when not in use, providing a multi-functional solution for small spaces.

Fire pit

The term "fire pit" often refers to a variety of designs but typically denotes a larger, more permanent fixture that can be a focal point in an outdoor area. These pits can be built into the ground or designed as freestanding structures. 

Materials vary widely, from stone and brick to metal and concrete, depending on the intended aesthetic and functionality. Fire pits designed for cooking might come with grates or grills. They are excellent for creating an outdoor living room atmosphere where people can gather around and enjoy the warmth.

Fireplace

An outdoor fireplace offers the most structured and traditional option for incorporating fire into an outdoor space. Unlike fire pits, which are open and accessible from various angles, fireplaces have a front opening and often a chimney or flue to direct smoke upwards. 

This design makes them suitable for placement near or against walls and in tighter, more controlled environments where directional heat output is preferred. Outdoor fireplaces can be built from brick, stone or pre-cast concrete and they often become the cornerstone of outdoor design, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.

What’s the best fire pit for you? Let’s find out

Are you eager to boost your chances of snagging that dreamy fire pit or fireplace soon? Well, first things first — you'll need to nail down what you're looking for. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the fire pit that’s just right for your outdoor space and style.

Pick your type

Before diving into the deep end, decide on the type of fire pit that suits your needs best. Whether you have a cosy balcony or a sprawling garden, there's a fire pit out there with your name on it. Once you've picked a type, think about the design. You’ll want something that enhances the vibe of your outdoor area. Consider style, material and colour. Aim for a fire pit that complements or smartly contrasts with your current setup. And if you're someone who loves shaking things up at home, opt for a fire pit with a timeless design that adapts effortlessly to any style changes.

Choose the ideal spot

Next up, think location. Where’s this fire pit going to shine? How many friends are you planning to gather around its warming glow? The answers will help you pinpoint the ideal size. Remember, you’ll need space for comfy seating around it, too. If your gatherings tend to be on the grand side, you might want to consider a larger fire pit or even a full-blown fireplace.

Set your budget

Last but definitely not least, let’s talk budget. Knowing how much you want to spend will streamline your search and get you closer to bringing home that ideal fire pit. No worries, though, we’ve got a fantastic range of options to suit all tastes and pockets.

How to maintain your fire pit

Maintaining your fire pit ensures it remains safe and enjoyable for every use. Regularly clear out ashes and any debris to prevent clogging and poor air circulation. If your fire pit is metal, check for rust occasionally and apply heat-resistant paint to protect it. Cover your fire pit when not in use to shield it from the elements, especially during adverse weather. For all types, inspect the structure periodically for cracks or damage. A little care, like keeping the surrounding area tidy and the structure intact, extends the life and beauty of your fire pit.

How to make your fire pit the star of the show

Your fire pit or fireplace is destined to be the star of your garden, and with a few fun touches, you can really make it shine. Here’s how to create a cosy, inviting focal point that everyone will gravitate towards.

Set the stage with snazzy seating

First things first, let’s talk about seating. You’ll want your fire pit to be the hot spot near your outdoor dining area, so start by choosing seating that complements the vibe you’re aiming for. Think comfy seats or benches that invite long chats into the evening, and maybe a garden table for those mugs of cocoa or glasses of wine.

Light up the night

No cosy corner is complete without some twinkling lights. Dive into our collection and light up your outdoor area in style. Whether it’s charming garden lamps, flickering torches, romantic string lights or classic candles, adding various lighting options will bring warmth and magic to your evenings outside.

Bring on the barbecue

If you’re all about that grill life, consider adding an outdoor grill to your setup. This is great if you fancy the idea of grilling, smoking or roasting a feast for the masses. Not ready to commit to a full grill? No worries – opt for a fire pit with an integrated grill or snag a stylish garden barbecue that combines a fire bowl with a handy tripod.
