With the smoke-free flames from gas firepits, you can enjoy the warmth and light from your firepit table for hours.

There are many benefits to utilising gas firepits, including no smells, no smoke and the ease of controlling the flame or turning it off completely when it’s finally time for bed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11890″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Cooking on your firepit tables” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

One other great advantage of fire pit sets is that with some, you can purchase a griddle plate and be able to cook your food right over the firepit itself. This can also be a great focal point for everyone as each person can cook what they want, how they want and when they want.

Overall the benefits of casual dining sets with gas firepit tables are that they give you complete control over heat as you can turn it on and off at any time. The added ambience it gives from the natural flames along with the ability to cook your own food makes it a must-have.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Are propane fire pit tables worth it?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

Although the initial outlay of these fire pit tables are more than most garden furniture sets, the benefits usually out weigh the costs. Have a good shop around and see what options you can get on your garden furniture.

The costs will also vary depending on the size and shape of the dining sets themselves. From personal experience, having a firepit table gives us more benefits that we believe we have lost.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Can you leave a gas fire pits outside?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

For most, the answer is yes but this will depend on the manufacturer of your garden furniture. You should always follow their guidelines and suggestions. Ensure that the fire pit sets you buy are of a high standard.

The structure of the garden furniture sets should ideally be an aluminium frame to avoid rusting. Any burners for the fire pits should be of high quality too. Some styles allow for the burners to be removed and stored separately.

As with all garden furniture sets, it is suggested that a cover is used to help preserve your garden furniture and protect it all year round.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What are good chairs for around a firepit?” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:18px|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

All of the casual dining sets we offer come complete with chairs. These range from standard-style dining chairs to comfortable full reclining chairs. Most rattan dining sets will come as a pre-determined set of tables and chairs.

This will be determined by the manufacturer of your garden furniture and also by the quality of the furniture that you purchased. Normally, if the furniture is of a high standard then you can leave this out all year round.

Due to the mechanics of a firepit table, most will be set at a fixed height. The table height will be set at the correct height for dining. There are a few manufacturers that have an adjustable height table, usually with 2 heights for coffee table style and also dining table.

A Firepit is used for purely burning. There will be no place for any food drinks etc. A firepit table is a normal table with a firepit added in the middle, allowing you to still dine in style!

Don’t underestimate the Bistro Sets

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s true, most family homes come with much smaller gardens than they used to. Not everyone has acres of space to plan their garden furniture. So, keeping this in mind, we are going to focus a bit on the much-loved and often understated Rattan Bistro Set.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A Rattan Bistro set typically comes with a small round table and 2 matching chairs. This is ideal for smaller spaces but also it can be very inviting and intimate if needed. It offers a perfect option for that quick cuppa with a friend or a morning coffee whilst reading the paper.
