A firepit table is a highly coveted piece of outdoor furniture that brings a unique charm, offering both comfort and ambiance to your outdoor living setup. The Classic Patio consultancy team is always on hand to provide you with expert guidance to help you find the perfect fire pit table for your space.
Before you begin your search for a fire-pit table, there are several initial factors to consider that will help you refine your choices:
Fuel Source: The first step is to determine the most convenient fuel source for your setup. Natural gas is an excellent option for a continuous supply, though not all locations are equipped for it. Propane is another popular choice, with many firepit tables designed for easy conversion between propane and natural gas. Alternative fuels like wood, charcoal, bioethanol, and gel are also available, but be aware of any usage restrictions or supply issues.
Size and Shape: Firepit tables come in a variety of sizes, from compact 20” models to expansive 72” versions, and in shapes such as round, square, and rectangle. Choose a size and shape that complements your patio furniture arrangement. Style is also a consideration, with mantel/table style being a common choice for furniture setups, while fire bowls and chimney styles offer a standalone option.
Height: The height of your firepit table should match the style of your patio furniture, ranging from occasional (16 to 18 inches) to bar height (42 inches). The choice of height will affect the functionality and comfort of your outdoor seating area.
Construction Materials: An Overview
The material of your firepit table significantly impacts its durability, maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Let's explore the characteristics of various materials:
- Aluminum: Known for its lightweight and resistance to rust and corrosion, aluminum is ideal for moist environments but may lack the durability of heavier materials.
- Cast Aluminum: Offers the benefits of aluminum with enhanced durability and the ability to feature intricate designs. It requires more maintenance to prevent oxidation.
- Stainless Steel: Celebrated for its durability and resistance to the elements, stainless steel presents a modern look but at a higher price point.
- Wicker: Provides a classic look that blends well with outdoor settings, though it is less durable and requires more care.
- Wooden: Wooden firepits offer a rustic appearance but demand regular maintenance to prevent damage from the elements.
- Fiberglass: This material can replicate the appearance of stone, wood, or concrete without the associated weight or cost, though it may lack authenticity.
- Faux Stone: Offers the look of stone without the weight or cost, suitable for various weather conditions but may vary in quality and durability.
Choosing the right material for your firepit table depends on your personal needs, budget, and the style of your outdoor space. Consider the climate, the amount of maintenance you're willing to undertake, and how the firepit will be used to make the best decision for your outdoor living area.
