Secure Garden Storage: Which Style Suits Your Needs?
Thinking about adding a fire pit to your outdoor area? Gas fire pits are an excellent outdoor heating solution, offering ample heat and light while creating an inviting atmosphere for a cool morning or a chilly evening. But you need to make sure you understand how to use and manage it correctly. In this blog, we’ll equip you with the knowledge on the health & safety, maintenance and management of a gas-controlled fire pit, so that you can enjoy your gas-controlled fire pit to the fullest.
Fire in general can pose a significant danger. So, before you spark up your gas fire pit, there are certain factors to keep in mind to ensure safety. While your fire pit is in use, it’s important to never leave it unattended when lit, and children and pets should always maintain a safe distance. A flat, non-combustible surface such as a patio area, slabs or stone, is the perfect place to position your fire pit. Make sure to keep it out of proximity to flammable materials, such as wooden furniture. For this reason, metal-framed furniture is the best option on the market, allowing you to keep your fire pit close for warmth.
Health & Safety Considerations
Ensuring your fire pit has adequate space for smoke to escape is key when considering health & safety. It’s common for people to have an outdoor area covered or enclosed from unwelcoming weather. But even when outside, these spaces can lack efficient airflow, creating an uncomfortable environment for you and your guests.
Maintenance Tips and Tricks
Ensuring your gas fire pit is correctly maintained is essential, as not only does it prolong its use but also minimises any safety concerns. One of the most important parts of fire pit maintenance is cleaning the burner regularly, as dust, soot and dirt can begin to gather. Regularly checking the gas tank and its connections is vital to ensure the fire pit runs smoothly. When your fire pit isn’t in use, it’s recommended to shield it from the elements in sufficient garden storage to extend its longevity. At HEX Living, our gas fire pit is manufactured from durable, powder-coated aluminium designed to stay outdoors year-round, taking away the hassle of storing it. However, if you do plan on storing away your fire pit, be sure to disconnect the gas tank, guaranteeing it’s stored safely.
Enhance Your Outdoors
To get the most out of your gas fire pit, comfort is key to creating a cosy outdoor space, so you’ll want to use it all-year-round. With the addition of a garden pergola, a luxury outdoor furniture set or an outdoor kitchen area, you can elevate your fire pit and effortlessly enhance your outdoor space.
