Cool Spring Evenings: Make the Most of Your Backyard With a Fire Pit

Spring days can be warm, but evenings often still have a chill. A fire pit keeps the party going and gives everyone something to gather around. At VarietyTradeSource.com, our Fire Pits and Fire Places range has options for backyards of all sizes.

1. Choose a Style

The 70cm Vintage Steel Fire Pit has a rustic look that suits most gardens and works well for relaxed catch-ups.

2. Check Local Rules First

Fire restrictions and total fire bans vary by state, region and even council. Always check your local rules before lighting a fire, and never light one on days of fire danger.

3. Set It Up Safely

Place your fire pit on a flat, non-flammable surface, well away from the house, fences, overhanging trees and dry grass. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby, and never leave a fire unattended.

4. Stock Up on Accessories

A fireplace tool set makes tending the fire easier, and a covered firewood rack keeps your wood dry.

Pair your fire pit with comfortable outdoor seating and warm throws, and you have a backyard spot you will use well into the evening.
