Garden Fire Pits and Outdoor Fires

Introduce warmth, atmosphere and a distinctive focal point to your garden with an outdoor fire selected for both its appearance and performance.

The Landscaping Emporium fire collection brings together sculptural garden fire pits and statement outdoor features chosen with a garden designer’s eye. Whether positioned at the centre of a seating area or used as a striking piece of garden sculpture, fire can transform how an outdoor space looks and feels.

Fire at the Heart of the Garden

A well-positioned fire pit creates a natural gathering place.

It can give purpose to a patio, encourage people to remain outside as the evening becomes cooler and provide movement and interest even when viewed from inside the house.

The right fire feature can become:

• A focal point within an outdoor seating area.

• A source of warmth on cooler evenings.

• A sculptural feature when not in use.

• A place for family and friends to gather.

• A visual connection between different parts of the garden.

• A finishing element within a professionally designed landscape.

Scale, location, fuel type and surrounding materials should all be considered before making a choice.

Sculptural Fire-Pit Spheres

Our fire-pit spheres combine the warmth of an outdoor fire with the presence of a piece of garden sculpture.

Detailed steel designs become increasingly dramatic when the fire is lit, allowing the flames and reflected light to move through the pattern. During the day, the sphere remains an architectural object within the garden.

These statement pieces work particularly well:

• At the centre of a generous patio.

• At the end of a garden vista.

• Within a dedicated seating area.

• Against a simple wall or dark planting backdrop.

• In contemporary and traditional gardens.

• As a visual feature viewed from the house.

Featured Garden Fire Pits

English Country Firepit Sphere

The English Country Firepit Sphere features an intricate rural design, creating a detailed sculptural feature that becomes animated by the flames within it.

It is particularly suited to traditional gardens, country properties and outdoor spaces where the fire pit needs to remain visually interesting when it is not alight.

Twisted Tree Firepit Sphere

The Twisted Tree Firepit Sphere uses the silhouette of an established tree to create a strong connection between fire, landscape and the changing seasons.

Its bold branching pattern gives the piece a distinctive identity, making it suitable as both a functioning fire pit and a permanent garden sculpture.

Choosing the Right Fire Pit

A fire pit should be selected in relation to the garden rather than considered as an isolated product.

Before ordering, think about the following points.

Available Space

The fire pit needs sufficient space around it for safe, comfortable movement and seating.

A large sculptural sphere may look impressive in an open garden but could dominate a restricted courtyard. Equally, a fire feature that is too small can appear lost within a large patio or entertaining area.

Check the product dimensions and allow for an appropriate safety zone around the fire.

Position in the Garden

Consider how the fire pit will be seen both when it is lit and when it is not in use.

A carefully chosen position can create a focal point from the house, complete the view along a path or anchor an outdoor seating arrangement.

Avoid positioning an open fire beneath trees, overhanging planting, lightweight structures or other combustible materials.

Seating Arrangement

Fire works particularly well as the centre of a social space.

Allow enough room for seats to be positioned comfortably without placing users too close to the heat. People should also be able to move around the seating area without passing dangerously close to the fire.

Surrounding Surface

Place the fire pit on a stable, level and non-combustible surface that is suitable for the particular product.

Porcelain paving, natural stone and other hard-landscaped surfaces may provide an appropriate setting, but heat, sparks, staining and manufacturer requirements must still be considered.

Do not place a fire pit directly onto artificial grass, timber decking or another combustible surface unless the product manufacturer confirms that the proposed installation is suitable and the required protective measures are in place.

Fuel and Storage

Check which fuel is recommended for the particular product.

If the fire pit uses logs, consider where dry fuel will be stored and how it will be brought to the seating area. Only use suitable, properly seasoned fuel and follow the manufacturer’s operating guidance.

Fire Pits as Garden Sculpture

A fire pit does not have to disappear from view when it is not being used.

Sculptural fire features can provide shape, texture and visual interest throughout the year. Weathering steel and similar materials develop naturally over time, helping the piece settle into the surrounding planting and landscape.

For the strongest result, consider the relationship between the fire pit and:

• Nearby planting.

• The colour and scale of the paving.

• Garden furniture.

• Walls and screens.

• Views from inside the house.

• Lighting within the surrounding garden.

• The overall character of the property.

Our team can help you assess whether a particular piece will suit the intended setting.

Using a Garden Fire Pit Safely

Every fire product should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

General precautions include:

• Position the fire pit on a suitable stable surface.

• Maintain appropriate clearance from buildings and combustible materials.

• Do not light an open fire beneath trees, canopies or overhanging structures.

• Keep children and animals under close supervision.

• Never leave a lit fire unattended.

• Keep suitable fire-extinguishing equipment nearby.

• Do not use petrol or other inappropriate accelerants.

• Avoid lighting the fire during unsuitable weather or very dry conditions.

• Allow the product and ashes to cool completely before handling.

• Do not move a fire pit while it is lit or hot.
