Bring on the Fire with Fabulous Backyard Fire Pits

Fun in your backyard doesn’t have to end with warm weather. You can enjoy your backyard all year round by installing a fire pit or improving one that you already have. Liven up backyards with these five great fire pit ideas.

Add a bench

Kiss a patio crowded with chairs goodbye by adding a functional bench to the perimeter of your fire pit. You can keep warm and be comfortable with a brand new wooden bench. Depending on your needs, you can make a bench that fits two people or one for the whole family.

Go natural

If you don’t already have a fire pit you can easily construct a simple wood-burning fire pit using rocks and sand from your yard. The sand provides a fireproof base, and the rocks can be carefully stacked to form a protective wall around the fire.

Get gassy

Fire pits aren’t just designed to burn wood. You can also purchase a gas-powered fire pit that is guaranteed to burn hot all year round. Gas fire pits come in all shapes and sizes, from small pits that mimic wood-burning pits to elaborate wrought metal pits.

Let it flow

A warm fire may be soothing on a fall night, but you can have an extra layer of relaxation by adding a water feature to your fire pit. Whether you choose a miniature pond or a bubbling waterfall, a water feature will enhance your fire pit visually.

Upgrade to barbecue fire pits

Sometimes a simple fire pit just isn’t enough. You can easily transform your fire pit into a barbecue pit by adding a chimney and a metal grid for smoking meat. Put your money where your mouth is, and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor all year long.

Whether you want your fire pit to blend into the natural environment or act as the final touch to your perfect backyard design, these five designs will complement any backyard haven.
