Size and space: choosing the ideal fire pit for your garden
Size matters, of course; you'll need it to fit into your small garden! We know it sounds obvious, but it's not just about considering the size of your garden. It also has to do with how you want to configure your garden layout.
Do you want a fire pit that can rotate 360 degrees, or do you have room for a smaller fire pit on one side only?
If you want to sit around it like a bonfire, a classic fire pit bowl may be the best option.
If you don't think you have enough space, a fire pit located on one side may be better.
There are also some safety precautions you need to consider when thinking about your space, which we'll go over in more detail below.
