Fire pits are the quintessential element for every cottage or rustic retreat. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet night with your family or entertaining friends, fire pits create a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere that brings people together. Fire pits can be either wood burning or gas burning and they are built using a variety of materials, such as natural stone boulders, precast concrete stone, and poured concrete with a stone veneer. Depending on the building material they may also be equipped with metal inserts, grills for cooking, and metal enclosures to contain embers.
