They&#8217;re safer than mobile alternatives since they can&#8217;t be knocked over by pets or kids. You can spend very little with DIY kits or invest in a professional mason to build something that will increase the curb appeal of your property. Be sure to choose materials and decor styles that match or complement the rest of your yard or home.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inground-firepits\">In-ground firepits<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>These campfire-style installations can be pretty basic. All you really need to do is dig a pit in the open ground and line the bottom with bricks, concrete or a plain fire ring. Add a circular frame of large rocks around the perimeter for a traditional look. Since the sunken design is low-key, you can get by with a few tree stumps or folding camping chairs for seating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits.jpg\" alt=\"In-Ground Fire Pits - Stonemark Hardscapes\" class=\"wp-image-12983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-430x430.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/in-ground-fire-pits-930x930.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aboveground-fire-pits\">Above-ground fire pits<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something a bit more substantial, you might consider building your permanent fire pit from the ground up. Kits are available for the Bob Vila crowd, but most people should hire a contractor to ensure that it complies with local fire and construction ordinances. These masonry structures typically work in concert with a matching floor and often incorporate a built-in wrap-around bench. The cohesive look and large scale create a lounge oasis when situated away from the main house. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nficertified.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Fireplace Institute<\/a> is a great resource for identifying certified professionals and educating yourself on hearth safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits.jpg\" alt=\"Above Ground Fire Pits - AK47 Design\" class=\"wp-image-12951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-430x430.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/above-ground-fire-pits-930x930.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"portable-fire-pits-heavy-or-lightweight-and-easily-moved\">Portable fire pits \u2013 Heavy or lightweight and easily moved?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you want the flexibility to periodically rearrange your outdoor setting, a mobile firepit might be a better choice. Though typically smaller than their anchored counterparts, portable fires have more styles from which to choose. They also work on patios, decks and poolside.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fire-pit-rings\">Fire Pit Rings<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>These are easily the most basic type of portable firepit with an extremely simple set-up. Usually, they&#8217;re made from folding or detachable curved panels of metal that latch together to form a ring or square. Just set them on a fire-proof surface and set the wood inside. The enclosure keeps the coals and embers from spreading out and gives the fire form. Many fire rings have artistic designs stenciled into the sides, which glow from the flames within. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Pit Rings - Sunnydaze Decor\" class=\"wp-image-12974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-430x430.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-pit-rings-930x930.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When the fire is out, just unlatch the segments, wash them and the base surface and you&#8217;re done.

They come in many sizes and materials, and burn a variety of fuels. The bowls may be empty receptacles in which you place wood or they might contain smooth rocks or glass pieces that hide a burner. If they require a gas connection, fire bowls become less mobile, but they can be moved to wherever you need them. They&#8217;re a great option for smaller spaces and their minimalist design blends seamlessly with virtually any decor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls.jpg\" alt=\"Fire Bowls - EcoSmart Fire\" class=\"wp-image-12970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-430x430.jpg 430w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-830x830.jpg 830w, https:\/\/decoroutdoor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/fire-bowls-930x930.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fire-columns\">Fire Columns<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>These tall fire structures serve more as decorative lighting than sources of functional heat.
