Frequently Asked Questions

How big should a backyard fire pit be?

The ideal fire pit size depends on the available space, how many people you typically entertain, and how you plan to use it. Smaller fire pits and braziers are well-suited to patios and compact outdoor areas, while larger fire pits can create a striking focal point in spacious backyards and entertaining areas.

When selecting a fire pit, it's important to balance visual impact with practicality, ensuring there is adequate space around the fire pit for seating, movement and safe operation. A custom-designed fire pit allows you to tailor the size and style to suit your outdoor space and lifestyle.

What custom features can I choose for my fire pit?

A custom fire pit can be tailored to suit both your style and how you intend to use it. Popular options include personalised laser-cut designs, custom artwork, names or logos, cooking plates, BBQ features, camp oven setups, and decorative fire pit scenes.

Depending on the design, custom fire pits can also incorporate practical features such as enhanced airflow, removable cooking accessories and matching outdoor elements to create a cohesive entertaining space.

Can you put a fire pit on a wooden deck or near a house?

Before installing or using a fire pit, always check local regulations, fire restrictions and manufacturer recommendations. Fire pits should be positioned on a stable, non-combustible surface where possible and kept well clear of buildings, fences, outdoor furniture, overhanging trees and other flammable materials.

If a fire pit is used on or near timber decking, appropriate fire-resistant protection should be placed beneath and around the fire pit to help protect the surface from heat and embers. Fire pits should never be left unattended while in use, and a suitable method of extinguishing the fire should always be readily available.
