Fire Feature Ideas: 6 Ways to Add Flame to Your Backyard

A fire feature is the part of the backyard everyone drifts toward. It sets the mood, extends the season, and gives an evening its center of gravity. Here are six ways to bring flame into your space, from intimate and sculptural to architectural and grand. Every piece is shoppable.

1. A sculptural concrete bowl

A round GFRC concrete bowl is intimate and modern, perfect at the center of a circle of chairs. Shop the Beton 42" Round Fire Pit →

2. A low rectangular fire table

A long, low table puts fire down the middle and a ledge for drinks all around, the most sociable shape. Shop the 72" Rectangle Fire Table →

3. A dramatic linear ribbon

For large patios and big views, a ten-foot ribbon of flame reads as pure architecture. Shop the Copper Canyon 10ft Fire Pit →

4. A clean steel statement

5. A flueless ethanol table
