Gas fire pits, learning the basics
Once used primarily for outdoor cooking and a source of warmth, outdoor fire pits have evolved into a warm and cozy accent piece for your patio on a cool autumn evening. The most basic outdoor fire pit is constructed of a metal ring supported by metal legs and cut with nature themed shapes such as animals, trees and stars. Depending on your taste, you can also find outdoor fire pits as elaborately constructed as an outdoor fireplace. However, regardless of design, outdoor fire pits are generally circular in shape, stand safely above ground level and contain the fire within the pit space with the help of a mesh or glass top. Outdoor fire pits are constructed from several different materials.
