It’s never the wrong time for a fire pit. But buying a fire pit takes some planning; you have to make some decisions about space, height, style, and fuel options. If you’re thinking about investing in a fire pit, here are a few tips on finding the right one for you!
Shape
The shape that works depends on the size of your space and what type of entertaining you are planning A square is the ideal shape for small gatherings. If you want the classic fire pit experience where you’re able to see everyone all around, go for the circle. If you like the functionality of a fire pit that can become a place for dining or just chilling, choose a rectangle.
Circles We Love
Our Solfire Outdoor Fire Pit or Asia Fire Bowl are great circular options.
Rectangles
We love our rectangular fire pits such as our Tavola Fire Table and Moderne Fire Table.
Out of the Box Contemporary
Some fire pits give a great modern edge to your backyard. Our Triangulum Fire Pit has a simple yet refined shape that encourages conversation, drawing people. We love the metallic reflection and glamorous character of our Modfire Outdoor Fire Pit Chiminea. It’s the ultimate statement piece for any style of patio, from Mid-Century Modern to rustic ranch.
Height
Height matters. Some pieces are going to be great for seating, others are table height.
19″ is the lowest height but goes well with seating patio furniture sets.
24″ This is perfect for chatting around the fire. Not too tall, not too short.
29″ This the idea dining height. You can fit chairs comfortably with this height.
38″ Counter height is ideal for high bar stools or standing guests.
