Garden Fire Pits

Choosing the Right Garden Fire Pit

Fuel Types for Garden Use

Wood burning fire pits are the most common choice for garden settings, producing a natural flame and heat output suited to open outdoor spaces. Gas models offer a cleaner, more controllable alternative with instant ignition and no ash to clear. Bioethanol options burn without smoke, making them suitable for sheltered garden areas or spaces close to neighbours. Browse the full fire pits collection to compare options across all fuel types.

Size and Placement in Garden Spaces

Garden fire pits are available in a wide range of sizes to suit different outdoor areas. Smaller models work well on compact patios, while large fire pits suit open lawns and entertain bigger groups. For dining and warmth combined, fire pit table sets are a practical option for garden entertaining. Placement matters for both safety and performance — a fire pit should sit on a stable, non-flammable surface with clear space around it.

Materials and Weather Resistance

Garden fire pits are made from a range of materials including cast iron, corten steel, stainless steel, and black steel. Each handles UK weather differently. Cast iron retains heat well but is heavy. Corten steel develops a protective rust patina and requires no treatment. Stainless steel resists corrosion and is low maintenance. The right material depends on how often the fire pit will be used and whether it will be stored between uses.
