Backyard Fire Pit Ideas

A fire pit is the cheapest way to give a backyard a second season. These yards place the fire deliberately: on its own gravel pad, sunk into a deck, or at the end of a lawn where the view opens up.

About this collection

Backyard Fire Pit Ideas, explained.

A fire pit is the cheapest way to give a backyard a second season. These yards place the fire deliberately: on its own gravel pad, sunk into a deck, or at the end of a lawn where the view opens up.

Compare the seating in each photo. Fixed benches keep the circle tight and tidy; loose Adirondack chairs let a group grow. Either way, leave a clear setback from fences and planting, and save the layouts that suit how many people you actually host.
