What Are the Top Benefits of All Weather Garden Furniture?
The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Luxury Garden Furniture
Providing much needed warmth on cool evenings or brisk mornings, a fire pit table is a fantastic addition to any outdoor space. However, ensuring safe use is paramount to enjoying your fire pit table responsibly. Here are some safety tips to keep in mind.
Choose the Right Location
The right location can make or break a fire pit table, not just from an enjoyment point of view, but also in terms of safety. Place the table on a flat, stable surface and away from any overhanging trees, structures or flammable materials and ensure there is sufficient clearance around the table to prevent accidental contact with the flame. This, coupled with the protection offered by a glass surround, will keep you and your guests a safe distance from the flame and protect you against accidental fires.
Follow Manufacturer’s Instructions
While a fire pit table is designed to be easy to operate, you should always adhere to manufacturers guidelines for assembly, operation and maintenance. Use only the recommended fuel type and keep an eye on the fire to ensure it is under control.
Keep a Safe Distance
It can be easy as the weather gets cooler to fire up the heater and gather round but it’s important to keep a safe distance. In particular, ensuring children and pets are supervised and kept at a safe distance is crucial to preventing accidents.
Have Fire Safety Equipment Handy
Even with a controlled flame, the dangers of fire cannot be underestimated. Keeping a fire extinguisher, fire blanket, garden hose or bucket of sand nearby will allow you react quickly in the unlikely event the fire gets out of control.
Monitor the Fire Continuously
Gas powered, most fire pit tables are designed with fire resistant materials and with integrated safety features like a glass surround to prevent sparks and prevent burns. Despite this, you should never leave the fire unattended while it’s in use. It’s also important to ensure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the area or heading inside.
Watch the Weather
While a wind surround can protect the flame to a certain degree, we recommend avoiding using your fit pit table during windy conditions. This will prevent the spread of flames and embers. We also advise covering the fire pit when not in use. Not only will this protect the elements from damage, it will also increase the longevity of the table, ensuring it remains at the heart of your outdoor space, season after season.
By following these safety tips, you can enjoy your fire pit table with peace of mind, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere all year round.
