From fuel types to styles, we’ll walk you through every decision you need to make in order for you to get the perfect fire pit installed in your home.
Maybe it’s a breezy summer night… or a frosty winter afternoon—a fire pit can really tie the moment together. Especially when you’re surrounded by friends, all enjoying the heat coming from the center of your circle. The right fire pit is much more than a centerpiece to an elegant living room; it provides a place for everyone to come together and share some time, bonding over the pleasant heat.
What this scene looks like for you, however, is going to depend on your personal needs. There’s a wide range of considerations for anyone looking at fire pits, such as fuel, shape, and materials involved in construction.
By the end of this page, you’ll know everything you need to make the best decision for your outdoor space, so you can properly invest your time and money in the perfect fire pit.
We’ve talked enough about the nitty-gritty, but you also need to think broader when considering fire pits. You can find fire pits in any shape and size, so it’s worth it to browse the catalog until you find something that fits your needs. For example, how many people do you see around your fire pit? Do you think you’ll be placing glasses, plates, or any other objects on the pit’s surface? If so, you should consider the dimensions you’re dealing with, the surrounding furniture, and your intentions—to land on a fire pit shape that works for you.
Here come the bells and whistles! If you thought there were a lot of functionality options in your fire pit, then just wait until you see the available aesthetic add-ons! The options are limitless when it comes to personal, non-functional considerations, which will really give your new fire pit the character it needs to make an impression.
An easy way to add style to your fire pit is with fire glass: Beautiful, heat-resistant glass that will add hue and dimension to your standard fire, like decorative pebbles in a fish tank. There are countless styles to spice up your fire pit: crushed, reflective, non-reflective—all running at sub-$100 price. Because fire pit décor is comprised of optional add-ons, they’re not permanent! Should you sprinkle some crushed glass in your installation, only to realize that you prefer lava rock—you can make that change whenever you’d like. Fire pit décor gives you the opportunity to experiment with your fire pit’s look, whether you’re changing its look to keep it fresh—or you’re searching for that perfect aesthetic.
As you can see, there are practically countless options to your fire pit build. That’s why it’s best to do write up a brief list of your major priorities, and have that handy as you browse Fireplace Deals inventory.
