fire pits

Backyard burning bowls

A fire pit is a contained area designed for building fires outdoors, typically a hole dug in the ground or a freestanding structure made of stone, metal, or brick.

Fire pits serve as gathering spots in backyards and patios where people socialize around the warmth and ambiance of an open flame.

We roasted marshmallows over the fire pit.

Some fire pits burn wood while others use propane or natural gas for cleaner, more controlled flames.
