This corner area of the backyard is turned into a lovely outdoor entertainment for long and chilly evenings. The ground is covered with gravel for safety and low-maintenance reasons.
The fire pit is a concrete bowl with a gas tank under the top layer of stones. The firepit sets a minimalist style that is complemented by the simple wooden L-shaped bench and two crafted armchairs.
11. Metal Bowl
This is one of the easiest outdoor fire pit ideas featuring a metal bowl where you can burn plain wood logs and coal.
The surface under the bowl must be coordinated with the heating potential, so concrete and gravel are among the best ground layers for such an area.
12. Stone Bonfire
A rustic fire pit blends perfectly with a well-maintained garden and traditional architecture. The fire pit is made from stone and is used to burn wooden logs.
There are two Adirondack chairs to sit close to the flames, but you can enjoy the warmth of the burning flame also from the porch on a rocking chair or on a comfortable sofa a little bit further from the fire pit.
13. Fire Pit In The Woods
If you want to raise the entertainment level of your outdoor area to an experience as if in the wild, you can make the fire pit area at the furthest end of the backyard, where the surroundings are only shrubs and trees.
The nature around it will set a campfire feeling that can be enhanced if you go for a traditional ground fire pit similar to the one in the image that burns logs.
14. An Outdoor Fireplace

This structure is not a simple fire pit. This is a fireplace for outdoor use. It is made from stones and features a chamber to burn wood, continued, with a chimney covered with stones and three sections where you can store logs.
The idea behind relocating an indoor feature outdoors is to make the patio more homely and welcoming.
15. Keep It Minimal

The added tall pot with succulents coordinates with the simplicity and minimalist style of this nook.
16. Metal Barrel Turned Into A Fire Pit
Are you keen on repurposing useless items or reclaimed materials? Check out this idea for a fire pit made from an oversized metal barrel.
The metal surface of the cylinder is left unprotected to get this lovely vintage rust all over. The barrel hides a propane installation that is preferred nowadays for outdoor fire pits.
17. Low Table Fire Pit
When you plan your fire pit area, think well about the size and height of the fire pit. If there is space and you think of surrounding it with one or two, or maybe more, sofas, go for a long and narrow fire pit that is also low so that you can use it as a table.
This custom fire pit is powered by gas, although you can see thin logs loaded into the burning tank. They are only for decoration and to blend the fire pit with the beautiful natural surroundings.
18. Put The Fire Pit On The Porch
The fire pit can create a romantic and cozy ambiance not only in the backyard. If you place it on the porch, you can enjoy it every evening as it is under a shelter.
Another advantage of this idea is that you can admire the charm and softness of the flame also from the inside of your home in case there is a window looking at the porch.
