    Wood-burning fire pits provide a traditional, rustic experience complete with the crackle of real logs and the smell of natural smoke. They're generally more affordable, easy to move, and produce high heat output, making them ideal for chilly nights, outdoor gatherings, or roasting marshmallows. Gas fire pits—whether fueled by propane or natural gas—offer a cleaner, more convenient alternative. They ignite instantly, produce no ash or smoke, and often include adjustable flame settings for greater control. Gas models also require less maintenance and are ideal for those who want the ambiance of a fire without the mess.

    Yes! We offer small outdoor fire pits designed for balconies, tight patios, or intimate seating zones. These options provide the warmth and ambiance of a fire without overwhelming your layout.

    Pair with outdoor sectionals or two lounge chairs to build a cozy conversation corner.

    Our outdoor fire pits are crafted from a variety of materials chosen for their durability, weather resistance, and design versatility. Common options include:

    • Powder-coated aluminum - Lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to move
    • Stone and concrete composites - Heavier materials that offer a grounded, natural look
    • Steel or metal fire pits - Sleek and modern, often available in colors like bronze or gray

    Each material brings a different aesthetic and level of maintenance, so the best choice depends on your space and style.

    We carry round, square, and rectangular fire pits, so you can find a shape that complements your seating layout and entertaining style. Round fire pits encourage easy, 360-degree conversation, making them ideal for creating a cozy, communal feel. Square fire pits offer clean lines and symmetry, which work especially well with sectional sofas or corner arrangements. For longer seating areas or larger groups, rectangular fire pit tables are a great choice--they provide more surface area and suitable linear layouts like benches or multiple chairs in a row. Choose the shape that best fits your space and the flow of your gatherings, whether it's quiet evenings for two or lively weekend entertaining.

    Safety depends on your setup and the pit type. Gas fire pits are generally safer for decks because they don't produce embers or ash. Always:

    • Check your deck or balcony's fire code
    • Use a fire-resistant mat beneath wood-burning pits
    • Position furniture at a safe distance
    • Never leave the flame unattended

    For contained flame control, opt for gas-powered fire pits with low-profile bases.

    Yes! A well-placed patio fire pit can serve as the focal point of your outdoor lounge area. Many of our designs double as coffee tables or serving surfaces, making them perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing under the stars. Fire pits pair beautifully with circular or modular seating, helping to anchor the space and spark conversation.

    Maintaining your outdoor fire pit is key to keeping it safe, functional, and looking great over time. Regular care includes using a fitted cover when the fire pit is not in use, cleaning out ash and debris for wood-burning models, and inspecting gas lines or ignition systems seasonally for any wear or damage. Portable fire pits should be stored during extreme weather to prevent rust or cracking. For long-term durability and easier upkeep, we recommend using fire pit covers and cleaners specifically designed to protect outdoor fire features from the elements.
