Firepit garden furniture has become a popular choice for those looking to create a cozy outdoor space, combining the functionality of seating with the warmth and ambiance of a fire pit. Here's an overview of the types and features you might consider when looking for firepit garden furniture:
-
Integrated Firepit Table Sets: These are tables where the fire pit is built directly into the table's center. They often come with seating that can be chairs or sofas. The fire can be fueled by propane, natural gas, bioethanol, or wood.
-
Separate Firepit and Seating Sets: These are more flexible options where a standalone fire pit is paired with garden furniture, allowing you to change the layout as needed.
-
Material Choices:
- Rattan/Wicker: Rattan or synthetic wicker furniture with fire pits are quite popular due to their stylish look and durability.
- Metal: Metal furniture, especially cast aluminum, is often chosen for its durability and classic style. Aluminium garden furniture also doesn't rust, making it excellent for the UK climate.
- Wood: Wooden furniture, particularly teak, offers a timeless, natural look. Ensure the wood is treated or naturally resistant to outdoor elements.
-
Firepit Fuel Types:
- Propane or Natural Gas: These are convenient for quick starts and consistent flames, often chosen for integrated table sets.
- Wood-Burning: Offers a traditional fire experience, with the crackling sound and wood scent.
- Bioethanol: A clean-burning option that doesn't produce smoke or require a gas line.
- Gel Fuel: Burns cleanly and doesn't produce much odor or smoke.
-
Safety Features: Look for fire pits that have safety features such as spark guards, especially for wood-burning types. If you have kids or pets, ensure the design is safe for them to be around.
-
Additional Features:
- Adjustable Flame: Many gas-fueled fire pits allow you to adjust the flame's height.
- Storage Space: Some designs come with hidden compartments to store the propane tank or other essentials.
- Convertible Tops: For fire pit tables, some designs offer a cover to transform the fire pit into a full table when not in use.
- Cooking Features: Some fire pits come with grills or grates, turning them into an outdoor BBQ.
-
Accessories: Consider purchasing weatherproof covers to protect your furniture and firepit. Fire-resistant mats can also be placed underneath to protect your patio or deck.
When shopping for firepit garden furniture, always consider the size of your outdoor space, your preferred fuel type, and the furniture's material. Ensure that you place your firepit in a safe area, away from flammable structures or plants, and always adhere to any local regulations regarding open fires in residential areas and of course your product manual.
