Choosing the Right Fire Pit for Your Space
A nice high-quality fire pit can liven up your backyard and make it safe and comfortable. But, with so many different options out there today, it isn’t always easy to choose the one that is going to work for your needs. You have to think about the amount of space you need to keep everything safe, the number of people that will be gathering around the unit and which style is going to match your outside décor the best.
Key Considerations When Buying a Fire Pit
Beyond digging a hole in your backyard, you can also opt for a freestanding fire pit or an outdoor fireplace. Before installing an outdoor pit, consider the following.
Amount of Space Needed
- Aim for 10-20-foot of distance between any surrounding objects and the pit itself.
- Keep your pit a safe distance from any hanging branches, trees or leaves.
- Avoid building a fire underneath of a roof or inside of an enclosed space.
