Firepits & Chimineas

Having a chiminea or fire pit in your garden can be a great addition to your outdoor space. Not only does it provide warmth and light, but it also creates a cosy and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests to enjoy. A chiminea is a freestanding, clay or metal fireplace that is typically used for heating and cooking, whilst a fire pit is a circular or square pit that is dug into the ground or built above it, usually made of brick or stone. Both options offer a rustic and charming touch to your garden and can be used for socialising, cooking, or simply relaxing. However, it's important to keep in mind that chimineas and fire pits can be a fire hazard if not used properly, so make sure to follow safety guidelines and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Overall, having a chiminea or fire pit in your garden can enhance your outdoor experience and provide a cosy and inviting space for you and your loved ones.

Wood burning outdoor heaters provide a natural and cozy warmth, as well as a rustic ambiance. They are a great option for those who love the smell and crackle of burning wood and want to create an authentic outdoor experience. They are also relatively inexpensive and can be used for cooking, such as grilling or roasting marshmallows. However, they require a steady supply of firewood and may produce smoke, which could be a nuisance to neighbors.

Not only are chimineas of great decorative value in any outdoor space. Made from heavy-duty cast iron, chimineas have an excellent heat retention and fit into any style of setting. With an easy to use slide-in cooking grill, you can host the ultimate outdoor gathering any time of year and impress your guests with a supreme patio centrepiece.

Covering your outdoor heater is important for a few reasons. Covering your outdoor heater is an important step in maintaining its functionality, safety, and longevity, and is a relatively simple and inexpensive way to protect your investment.

• It protects your heater from the elements, such as rain, snow, and wind, which can cause damage to the heater's components over time. This can include rusting of metal parts, cracking of plastic components, and water damage to electrical components, which could compromise the safety and functionality of your heater.
• Covering your outdoor heater helps to prolong its lifespan, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment. By protecting it from the elements, you can prevent premature wear and tear, which could lead to costly repairs or replacement down the line.
• Covering your outdoor heater also keeps it clean and free from debris, such as leaves, dust, and insects, which can accumulate over time and clog up the heater's vents and filters. This can cause the heater to work less efficiently and may even create a fire hazard.
