Firepits are a fantastic addition to any outdoor space, providing warmth and ambiance for gatherings. However, safety should always be a priority. Here’s a guide on how far a firepit should be from your house and how to enjoy a firepit experience indoors with the Tablehearth.
Safe Distance for Outdoor Firepits
-
Minimum Distance: The general rule of thumb is to place your firepit at least 10-20 feet away from your house, structures, trees, and overhanging branches. This helps prevent accidental fires and ensures smoke doesn’t enter your home.
-
Wind Considerations: Be mindful of wind direction and strength. Strong winds can carry embers, so position your firepit in a sheltered area.
-
Surface and Stability: Place your firepit on a stable, non-combustible surface such as concrete, brick, or a fire-resistant mat. Avoid placing it on grass, wood decks, or other flammable surfaces.
-
Clear Area: Keep the area around your firepit clear of flammable materials like leaves, paper, and furniture.
-
Supervision: Always supervise the fire and have a fire extinguisher, water, or sand nearby to quickly extinguish any accidental fires.
