Tips for Installing an Outdoor Fire Pit

April 3, 2022

If you’ve got an outdoor space and are curious about what to do with it, it can be challenging to figure out how to bring it to life. You’ll see a lot of suggestions around the web on what you should implement, but the one everybody agrees on is an outdoor fire pit. There’s a good reason it makes the top 10 of every garden ideas list.

A fire draws people to it and creates an atmosphere as warm as the heat it provides. The only downside is that they can be tricky to install.

Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered with our top tips for a fire pit installation.

Picking the Perfect Spot

A lot goes into picking the perfect spot for your fire pit. While there are plenty of places you can place outdoor fire pits, you want to keep a few things in mind.

First off, there are the surroundings. You want to have the fire a certain distance from your house, to ensure there are no unfortunate accidents. Low-hanging branches are another potential hazard to avoid.

Next, ensure that there is sufficient protection from the wind. Nothing will put out a party quicker than a gust of wind blowing smoke and ash in the face of your house guests.

Last but not least, know what’s underneath your preferred site. You might need to do some digging to carve out the perfect spot. The last thing you want to do is put your shovel through any pipes or cables.

Make Sure You’ve Got All the Materials

Your next job is to make sure your shopping list is complete with everything you’ll need. We aren’t going to cover the basic tools like a shovel, tape measure, and level. There are some specific things you’ll want depending on the type of fire pit you’re installing, though.

The bricks you are planning on using for your fire pit are the most game-changing item on the list for an in-ground fire pit. Your standard clay brick isn’t going to be able to withstand the temperature a fire pit produces. That means you’ll be on the lookout for firebricks.

If your fire pit is above-ground, make sure that you have concrete or gravel to create a base to set it on.

Which Outdoor Fire Pit Is Right for You?

Not all outdoor fire pit ideas involve major construction and terraforming. There are outdoor gas fire pits that are far easier to install. Perhaps one of the best tips worth considering is the exact type of fire pit you want.

Fire pits outdoor come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. You can get an outdoor fire pit table or something like this excellent Mix 850 Ethanol bowl, which is hassle-free to install. Ethanol setups are particularly effective as they avoid the odors that outdoor gas fire pits and wood fire pits can produce.

A Welcoming Garden All Year

No matter which fire pit you decide to go for, there’s one thing we’re sure about. That sure-fire thing is that a fire pit creates an ambiance unlike any other, one you can enjoy all year round. Although it might take some work depending on the outdoor fire pit you choose, it’s well worth the effort.
