Fire Pit & Fire Basket
Fire pits are larger, often permanent structures for outdoor heating and cooking, while fire baskets are portable and compact. Fire pits can be built into patios or gardens, providing a focal point. Fire baskets are ideal for smaller spaces or temporary setups due to their mobility.
Fire pits should fit your garden's scale and purpose. Consider the available space and the number of people you want to accommodate. A larger fire pit suits bigger gatherings, while a smaller one is perfect for intimate settings, ensuring safety and comfort.
Fire pits and fire baskets made from steel, cast iron, or stone offer durability and heat resistance. Steel is lightweight and rust-resistant, ideal for portability. Cast iron retains heat well but is heavier. Stone provides a natural look but requires more maintenance.
Fire pits can be used on decking with precautions. Ensure there's proper heat shielding and maintain distance from flammable materials. Consider using a fire pit pad or mat to protect the deck surface from heat damage.
Gas fire pits offer convenience with easy ignition and adjustable flames, suitable for low-maintenance use. Wood-burning fire pits provide an authentic experience with crackling sounds and natural aromas but require more effort in lighting and cleaning.
Fire pits should never be left unattended when lit. Always extinguish the flames completely before leaving the area to prevent accidents or unintended fires. Safety should always be prioritized when using any open flame outdoors.
