The Best Fire Pit Tables for Your Home
Outdoor living is at its best when shared with family and friends. Gathering your merry band together, basking in the warmth and glow of your outdoor fire pit table is the perfect setting for reminiscing about days gone by. Fire pits provide a central point for your outdoor living space, naturally drawing people toward the warm glow they provide.
How Fire Pit Tables Keep Your Patio Comfortable
Simply put, a fire pit table is a table that’s on fire. Wait, that’s not right... A fire pit table is a table that has a fire element to it in the center, so it is both fire pit and table. Fire pit tables are like magnets to your guests – they will naturally be drawn to the flames, creating an instant conversation area.
Choosing Which Fire Pit Table is Right for You
Outdoor fire pit tables come in a few different fuel types. Natural Gas fire pit tablesrely on the natural gas piped into your home. Once installed, natural gas fire pits produce minimal smoke, don’t create sparks, and are easy to operate via controls built into the table. The two other big plusses for natural gas fire tables are that they are the least expensive way to “light your fire,” and that there are no tanks to deal with.
Liquid Propane fire pit tables (LP fire pit tables) typically rely on a propane tank hidden in the table’s base. They too produce almost no smoke, do not create sparks, and are super easy to control. Because most LP fire pit tables use these separate tanks, they are more portable than a natural gas solution and can be relocated on a whim.
When selecting your gas fire pit table, be sure to take into account the amount of heat (measured in BTUs per hour) that your table gives off. Just because the table is larger doesn’t mean that the amount of heat given off is larger; check the specifications to make sure.
Round, square, rectangular or oval – the options you have in selecting a patio fire pit table are fantastic, and at Patio Heat and Shade you know you’re getting the best price around.
Styling your Outdoor Space with Fire Pit Tables
Picture this – It’s a federal holiday, and gorgeous weather meant that your whole family spent all afternoon together in your outdoor oasis. The competitive game of Bocce you had with your sons would have gotten a little hot and sticky if it weren’t for the patio misters working their evaporative magic. Your daughter (barely 3 years old) has been parked on the bench by the outdoor table using her favorite crayons to practice becoming the next Picasso (or Banksy). Your spouse has been “reading” (unless the book is printed on the inside of their eyelids, I don’t see a lot of “reading” going on) in the hammock for the past hour…
As the sun has just about hidden itself over the horizon, you fire up the fire pit table and within minutes every one in the family is circled around, enjoying the warmth of the fire while mesmerized by the leaping flames adorning its center. You’ve set out all the makings for s’mores (graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, long forked skewers) and you all go about cooking/igniting your own marshmallows. Your whole family, gathered around the fire pit table enjoying the end of a fantastic day. That’s what life’s all about.
Fire Pit Tables Expand Outdoor Living Spaces
Every room needs a centerpiece, a focal point. In your outdoor oasis, your gas fire pit table is the one-piece everyone surrounds as the evening rolls on. Your patio fire pit table does an excellent job of vanquishing the little nip in the air while your guests stare deeply into the flames lapping one another throughout the night.
