Are fire pits safe to use on paving?
We often get asked if it is safe to put a fire pit on your paving. Well the golden rule when placing a fire pit on any patio or landscape paving is first to ensure that the surface is level and secondly that the paving is not combustible. That is, your paving will not set fire should any hot embers or sparks fall onto the paving.
So If you have a solid surface such as concrete, clay, stone or gravel then a fire pit will be fine on this kind of paving. If you have wooden decking then you should not place a fire pit onto this surface. You could place paving slabs onto the surface of your wooden decking then put the fire pit onto the paving slabs but if you do this you should never leave the fire unattended.
If you do spill ash onto your paving rinse the ash away once the fire has cooled to help prevent the soot and ash from staining your surface. You may want to consider applying a sealer to your paving to stop the ash from staining and soaking the paving especially if you have an absorbent paving surface. If you do get your paving dirty you should try to wash your paving with soapy water once your fire has cooled down.
Fire pits can burn more than just logs!
Fire pits can burn wood such as logs or fallen branches, charcoal or even be used to burn gas. They can be used with good effect in autumn for burning fallen leaves around the garden. Fire pits can make a great place to burn sensitive documents such as bank statements and bills if you don’t have a shredder.
