Unity Series Outdoor Fire Pits

Picking the right size fire pit is key to balancing comfort, functionality, and visual appeal. Consider how you plan to use it and the space available in your backyard or patio. With a variety of sizes and shapes, you can find a fire pit that complements your outdoor area while providing ample warmth and ambiance for gatherings.

Accessories can improve both safety and enjoyment. Fire glass or lava rocks distribute heat evenly and add visual interest. A wind guard stabilizes flames on breezy nights, while propane setups benefit from tank covers or enclosures for a polished look. Weatherproof covers for electronic ignition systems protect controls and extend the life of your fire pit.

Electronic ignition offers convenience, allowing one-touch operation, often with remote control and automatic re-ignition features. Manual spark or match-lit systems are cost-effective and reliable. Your choice depends on whether convenience and safety or simplicity and budget are your top priorities.

Color affects how your fire pit integrates with your outdoor design. Light finishes create a sleek, contemporary vibe, while darker shades provide a bold focal point and help hide soot. Match your finish to patio furniture, pavers, or landscaping to achieve a cohesive look.

Propane and natural gas are popular choices. Propane offers portability and easy installation with standard tanks, while natural gas connects to your home’s line for continuous fuel - ideal for permanent setups. Both burn cleanly, require minimal maintenance, and produce smoke-free flames.

BTUs (British Thermal Units) measure heat output. Higher BTUs provide more warmth, useful for larger patios or open spaces. Residential fire pits typically range from 40,000–60,000 BTUs, while commercial or poolside setups may require 100,000 BTUs or more.

Many fire pits include automatic shut-off valves and wind guards. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and hire professionals for installation. For additional guidance, visit the NFPA.
