An Introduction to Garden Fire Pits
When it comes to fire pits, you have to know that there is not one option that suits all. Picking the right fire pit can take up a great deal of your time as well. If you want to choose the right one for you without having to do hours of research, then this guide should tell you everything you need to know.
Fire Pit Table
This is what it says on the tin. It is a fire pit that is in the middle of a table, and you have the option to place your food and your drink on it too. This is a great way for you to try and keep your guests warm when you are trying to socialize outdoors. The best thing about this style of fire pit is that you have a lot of extra space between the edge, and you have an additional layer of safety too. If you have kids, then they cannot get too close, and they come in a huge variety of designs. You have coffee tables, high-top tales and even dining tables. Fire pits like this tend to run on either gas or electric, but it is possible to find wood-burning ones on the market. These tend to represent a larger outlay than ‘simpler’ fire pits. However, they become more affordable if you were to look at cheap furniture stores.
Brick Fire Pits
Homemade fire pits tend to be permanent. They are made using fire-safe bricks, and they are then surrounded by decorative brick. You should know that you cannot use normal bricks for the inner chamber because the bricks will not be able to maintain their structure under the heat. You also need to make sure that you have a solid concrete base too. You can match things like this in with your other decor with ease, and if you are handy when it comes to DIY, then you may find that you can match the brick in with other decor around the garden.
Silhouette Fire Pits
Another option you have would be the silhouette fire pit. These are normally made out of steel, and they have a very intricate design too. This helps to create a picture silhouette that is lit up by the flames. You can choose a variety of shapes and designs here, and some of the pros include the fact that you can make a statement with them and that you can also personalize your fire pit. You should take note that they are portable too, and they can give a lot of heat. The cons are the fact that you do not have anywhere to rest your food and your drink and that you don’t usually have any kind of integrated seating.
So, choosing a fire pit has truly never been easier, and if you use this guide, you should find that it is easier than ever for you to get the result you are looking for without compromise. You may also find that you can save a lot of money too, as you are more aware of the options that are available.
