Cold… BAD. Fire pit… GOOD!
Channelling your inner cave-person; thaw these icy temperatures with a twenty-first-century outdoor fire pit!
Since the dawn of man, we’ve enjoyed huddling around the flickering flames to cook, catch up and most importantly – avoid the chill! But things have evolved a bit over the years. For starters, toasted marshmallows weren’t around back then…
From contemporary wood-fired designs to eco-friendly bio-ethanol fireplaces, our selection will have you forgetting about this seemingly never-ending winter! Just as much a smash-hit in the summer, relax in your outside space for longer with our cold-combating collection of fire pits!

Perfect for bringing the family together, snuggle around the Garden Trading Barrington Fire Pit once the sun has set. Available in two sizes and crafted from raw steel, the heavy-duty design was made to withstand seriously hot temperatures! Including handles on either side and a detachable stand, position at the centre of your garden furniture set and get the marshmallows at the ready! Load with your choice of kindling and logs and watch the flames lick through the strapped metal bowl. And when you’re down to embers, your patio will be painted with deep orange light and shadow and you’ll be left with a warm, fuzzy feeling.

7. Cosi Fires Cosiscoop Fire Lantern
Not so much a fire pit, but worthy of a mention – the Cosi Fires Cosiscoop Fire Lanterns suit smaller gardens, balconies and courtyards.
