Fire pits are fast becoming a very popular fixture within British gardens, and it’s easy to see why. They’re perfect for creating a warm and cosy atmosphere outside in your garden, even when the weather is doing its best to create the opposite.
However, we imagine you may be thinking something along the lines of – “I’d love a fire pit, but I’ve just bought some quality composite decking from the really helpful (and not to mention exceptionally good looking) experts over at Savoy Timber, surely there’s no way I can have one now without risking causing damage to my decking?”. We hear you, and have no fear. There are ways around this issue.
It’s definitely worth us stating up-front and that our composite decking is the best option when it comes to moisture resistance and withstanding all kinds of weather, however because they comprise of both recycled plastic and timber, they’re not exactly flame resistant, or capable of withstanding extreme heat (the kind produced by a fire, your decking is safe in the summer).
So, if you’re thinking about adding an open fire pit on your composite decking, you’ll need to invest in one that’s suitable. Consider one that possesses some kind of protective mat, to ensure that the heat from the fire doesn’t damage your decking. As an added tip – you can even picture frame a section of your composite decking and gravel the inside of this section, placing your fire pit in the centre. This way, your decking has a protective barrier separating it from the fire.
As we touched on above, there are a range of options out there for you to choose from when it comes to fire pits that are suited for use on composite decking. You could opt for a free-standing portable fire pit, one that is sunken into your decking space or one that is built up through your decking with brickwork. The choice is yours! But ultimately, you’ll want to opt for something that fits with the general aesthetic of your garden.
For example, a fire pit submerged into a table with modern-looking glass wind guards looks fantastic in a more contemporary space, whereas something built with bricks and mortar has a more rugged look to it that would look great in a more classical garden setting.
