Recommended clearances:
- Keep at least 5 feet from structures, furniture, and railings
- Maintain 10 feet of clearance from overhangs, pergolas, and tree branches
- Check local fire codes for additional requirements
Sizing by space:
- Small patio or balcony: 24-30" diameter
- Medium patio or deck: 36-42" diameter
- Large outdoor room or yard: 48-60" diameter
Weight considerations:
- If placing on a deck, verify the load capacity — our fire pits range from 150 to 600+ lbs
- Concrete models are heaviest; consider a ground-level installation for larger sizes
Placement tips:
- Position for wind protection when possible
- Ensure level ground or surface
- Consider sight lines from indoor spaces for year-round enjoyment
