Designing a Practical Garden Fire Pit

A garden fire pit works best when it feels like part of the landscape rather than something placed in the middle of it as an afterthought. The seating area, surrounding surface and access route all need to be considered alongside the fire pit itself.

Begin with a firm, level base and keep combustible planting, fencing and furniture away from the fire area.

Drainage is another practical consideration.
