If you're on the hunt for the quickest and easiest update to your outdoor space for the warmer months, look no further than an outdoor fire pit.
Whether or not you need it, a fire pit serves so many purposes to elevate your space. It creates a focal point and anchor for your outdoor furniture. It adds glowing light without having to wire any lighting. It also adds warmth if the night breezes act up. And finally, it's a great conversation point and perfect for that spontaneous marshmallow roasting moment.
Here we take a look at wood-burning or gas outdoor fire pits for every style, and show you how to incorporate each into your backyard.
