Summer in the UK can be unpredictable, but it’s also the only time many of us can use our outdoor spaces. The age-old gazebo has been bravely enabling summer get-togethers for decades now. But when it comes to protection from cooler evening temperatures, a fire pit can be a fantastic addition to your garden furniture.
Here are ten reasons why you should consider investing in a firepit.
1. Cozy Ambiance
A fire pit creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making your garden an ideal place to gather with family and friends. It’s a great focal point for relaxation and conversation, especially during cool evenings or chilly seasons.
2. Extended Outdoor Seasons
With a fire pit, you can extend the usability of your garden throughout the year. Even on colder days, the fire pit can keep you warm and allow you to enjoy the outdoors without feeling uncomfortable.
3. Entertainment
Fire pits can be a great source of entertainment. You can roast marshmallows, make s’mores, or cook delicious meals over the fire, making it a fun activity for kids and adults alike.
4. Socializing and Bonding
A garden fire pit naturally encourages people to gather around it. Think about it – humanity has come together around fires for centuries. Adding a firepit to your garden is a good way to help bring your loved ones closer together.
5. Aesthetics
Fire pits come in various designs and styles, adding an attractive focal point to your garden. Whether you prefer a modern, rustic, or classic look, you can find a fire pit that complements your garden’s overall aesthetics.
6. Property Value
A well-designed fire pit can enhance your property’s value and appeal to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home. Many homebuyers appreciate the added outdoor living space and the potential for cosy gatherings.
7. Insect Repellent
Smoke from the fire can help repel insects. Whether it’s mosquitos, wasps or creepy-crawlies, a small amount of smoke in the air can be beneficial during the warmer months and keep those bothersome bugs at bay.
8. Therapeutic Benefits
Watching dancing flames and listening to the crackling sounds can have a calming and therapeutic effect, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
9. Outdoor Cooking Option
Some fire pits come with grill grates or attachments, allowing you to cook meals outdoors, which can be a fun alternative to traditional indoor cooking.
10. Energy Efficiency
When hosting outdoor gatherings, using a fire pit can be more energy-efficient than heating an entire indoor space. It’s also cheaper than using outdoor heaters.
With that in mind, here are some of our top fire pit picks from our DivideBuy merchants:
