Choosing the right location for your outdoor fire pit will enable you to get maximum enjoyment, as well as ensuring it is situated in a safe place away from potential fire hazards.

Here are our top tips to find the best place in your garden for an outdoor fire pit:

• Make sure the fire pit is situated at least 10 feet away from any structure.
• It is best to place the fire pit on a natural surface such as concrete, stone, gravel, brick or slate or on a fire-resistant composite.
• Be careful placing it on wooden surfaces such as decking, as sparks and flying embers can ignite nearby surfaces.
• Place the fire pit on a flat level surface where the ground is not sloping.

• Consider the prevailing wind direction. You may even need to move the location from time to time as the wind direction changes; which is why a portable fire pit is the best option.
• Fire pits are meant to be enjoyed from all sides, so be sure that there is space enough for chairs all the way around the pit.
• If you do not have a patio, build a brick surface to protect your lawn from being damaged from the heat of the flame.
• Avoid placing the fire pit under a covered porch or where there are low hanging tree branches.
• Having a built-in seating area will keep everyone a safe distance from the flames.
• Always keep an eye on children whenever a fire pit is being used and don’t allow them to get too close to the blaze.
• Remember that ceramic fire pits retain heat – even long after the fire has gone out. Allow the bowl to cool thoroughly before attempting to touch or move it
