What Is a Fire Table?
Like a fire pit but perhaps offering more style, a fire table can appear as if it is a piece of furniture or a unique holder for emitting gas flames and bringing warmth to your surroundings. It is stylish and eye-catching, a special landscape feature that can elevate the appearance of your patio, outdoor kitchen, and pool area.
A fire table can be ideal for entertaining your friends and family, as it provides an invitation for conversation. Any quiet lulls can be joyfully spent looking at the glow of the flames.
The fire gets people outside and away from their screens. Think of how nice it could be to have a family night each week around the fire table. You can catch up on your kid’s school week, reconnect with grandma and grandpa, and establish a tradition that creates memorable experiences.
You can have a choice in the fire table shape and size. There are round fire tables that have a bowl shape for a cozy fire and other geometric shapes like rectangles and squares.
Where to Place a Fire Table
A fire table can be perfectly situated in a patio area of the backyard where you want to be able to watch the kids play on the playset. You can choose the size of the fire table and have glass added to a low fire table to protect the young ones from the open flame.
Consider adding a fire table to an outdoor kitchen or outdoor bar for a dramatic impact. Having a fire table on the top of a bar-height counter can elevate this space for you and your guests as you mix drinks and gather around to enjoy the company.
Your landscape professionals can build a stone enclosure for a fire table so that the warmth can be accessed from two sides. The stone can add textural interest to the design and give extra space for more people to gather around the heat.
For a unique fire table, the fire can be ensconced in a triangular holder of metal that contributes a unique metal shape to the outdoor space while holding the fire inside.
Benefits of Fire Tables
While a fire pit or outdoor fireplace is stationary in the landscape design, some fire tables can be moved when you change the arrangement of your outdoor living spaces. Although you wouldn’t want to move the fire table often, knowing your landscape professionals can have the fire moved for you can be a bonus.
Fire tables can add a luxurious fire to many spaces that can’t accommodate a fixed fire feature due to their size. A fire table can become part of a countertop at the bar or it can create a contrast to the landscape lines with a circular bowl.
