And let's be honest: relaxing in front of a fire in the garden really is just the best way to unwind after a hard day's work, isn't it?
So if you want to add a little more cosiness to your garden, then you should create a fire pit. We would like to present 4 creative ideas of what such a position could look like in more detail. So you won't have to do without cozy evenings in the garden in the future, because the fire will keep you nice and warm even in cooler temperatures.
Backyard Fire Pit Ideas
➤ Idea No. 1 - Brick fireplace
First of all, we would like to introduce you to a variant that you can easily implement yourself: the brick fireplace. You can build them very easily and also completely according to your own taste. For example as a fire pit or in the form of a round wall. There are no limits to your imagination.
Please note:
Open fires are not permitted everywhere. If in doubt, ask your local municipality.
For the first variant, you can dig a hole and then insert a fireproof bowl in it. Or you wall in stones there. For the second variant, you simply have to wall bricks (or other stones) into a circle (simple instructions on www.bauanleitung.org).
➤ Idea 2 - Set up a fire bowl
If you are not particularly talented with your hands, you can make it very easy for yourself and set up a fire bowl in the garden. These are available in a wide variety of designs, so there should be something for every taste and garden style. For example, there are fire bowls made of cast iron, stainless steel, iron, ceramic orTerracotta and then also in a flat and a high variant.
Hint:
You can also use a fire bowl as a grill. All you need is a grill rack with a grate and a height-adjustable chain.

Garden stoves, as known from Mexico, have been very popular in Germany for several years. Not only because they look very nice, but because you can enjoy the blazing fire and the stove quickly gives off a pleasant and cozy warmth.
In terms of design and material, there are garden stoves, for example, in the traditional Mexican shape and made of terracotta or in very modern shapes and made of high-quality steel. The models made of cast iron, which are offered in the traditional form, are also very attractive. Of course, you have to decide for yourself which of these fits best in your garden. The garden stove should only always match the garden style and can also be used on the terrace.
➤ Idea 4 - Install a gas fireplace
For all those who like it a little more elegant and also have a gas connection, here is another nice variant for a fireplace: simply have a professional install a gas fireplace in your garden. This not only looks very elegant, it also has many advantages:
- no ash pollution
- no soot formation
- no propane gas bottle required
- no chopping wood
- can be switched on or off easily and conveniently at the push of a button
The great thing about such a gas fireplace is that you can even get it as a combination of fireplace and table (see example model at www.amazon.de). So you can place your garden furniture around it and you can even put your drinks on it.
However, it is important (if you have not already done so) that you carry out a gas supplier comparison at the latest when purchasing a gas fireplace in order to avoid such high costs. You can carry out such a gas provider comparison free of charge and without obligation at www.gaslieferer.com, for example. You can see at a glance which gas supplier is the cheapest in your region. And you should always leave the laying of the gas socket (information on this at www.progas.de) in the garden to a professional.
