Sunken Fire Pit Ideas

Sinking the fire pit does two things: it hides the seating from the rest of the yard and gets everyone out of the wind. These designs step down from the patio or lawn into a ring of built-in benches around the fire.

About this collection

Sunken Fire Pit Ideas, explained.

Sinking the fire pit does two things: it hides the seating from the rest of the yard and gets everyone out of the wind. These designs step down from the patio or lawn into a ring of built-in benches around the fire.

Drainage is the whole game — a sunken pit needs a drain and a way for water to leave. Save the conversation pits whose depth and seating count match your yard, and plan lighting on the steps.
