What to Look for in a Commercial Fire Pit

As you start to shop for a gas fire pit to add to your commercial space, you are sure to find that there are plenty of options on the market today. How do you sort through the noise and find the products that are going to be a good fit for your needs? Consider the points below to get started.

The Right Size

This is always where the shopping process starts for a fire pit, whether it is going to be installed on a commercial or residential property. Everything else will be wasted if you don’t pick out a fire pit that is the ideal size for the space you have in mind. Figuring out what size the fire pit should be comes down to not only knowing how much total space you have available, but also the size of some of the other elements that will be in the area.

You are probably going to put some chairs around the fire pit, for example, so determining how big those chairs are going to be – and how many of them there will be – is a good place to start. Also, remember to build in some space to the design so people can walk around comfortably without bumping into one another. Take the time needed to figure out the overall design of the area and then determine how big your fire pit should be.

Quality Materials and Components

It might be tempting to go with a cheap commercial fire pit to keep the cost of this purchase down. After all, every dollar you save is a dollar you can add to the bottom line, right? That might be true but going cheap on this purchase is going to come back to bite you in the end. A low-quality fire pit is likely to run into plenty of problems, including rusting, failing to light, and more. And, even more than that, it probably won’t live up to the look and feel of something that you will be proud to display to your customers. Start off with a product that you’ll love – such as, a fire pit from CopperSmith, and you will be much happier and won’t need to look to replace it nearly as quickly.

An Eye-Catching Design

With any luck, a commercial fire pit is not something that you are going to go shopping for again anytime soon. So, with that in mind, you want to make sure the design of the pit you choose is something that will stand the test of time from an aesthetic standpoint. Most of the time, this will mean clean lines, an interesting shape, and nothing that strays too far in an unexpected direction. These are the kinds of traits that tend to be timeless and will be as appealing from the first day you install the fire pit until it is finally time to replace the unit with a new one.

FAQs

We understand that a commercial fire pit is a big purchase, so we want you to have all of the information you need before placing an order. The answers to the frequently asked questions below should help you get the information you need, but feel free to reach out directly if you need anything else.

Is a square or round fire pit better?

We wouldn’t say that one of these is “better” than the other, but they do each have their own strengths. If you are trying to create a comfortable, welcoming space for people to gather and talk, a round fire pit might be your best bet. The shape will naturally draw people in closer, and the flow of foot traffic around the pit will be smoother. With that said, a rectangular fire pit can make for a strong design element if you need something to define a space. Also, a long, rectangular fire pit will have more spots along it for people to walk up and get close to the fire, which might be an important feature for a commercial space that is regularly busy and crowded.

What is a good size for a fire pit?

This is a question that can only be answered when the size of the space at hand is taken into consideration. Are you placing this fire pit in the middle of a big patio, or off in a small section of an outdoor area that only gets minimal traffic? You don’t want to place a tiny fire pit in the middle of a big patio, as it will look lost in the space and won’t be able to accommodate very many people standing or sitting around it. At the same time, a huge fire pit in a small space won’t leave room for chairs and would make for an awkward setting. So, carefully consider the space you are trying to design and then decide what size fit pit will be most appropriate for the area.

Do metal fire pits last?

Absolutely! A well-made metal fire pit from a trusted name like CopperSmith can be expected to perform beautifully on your commercial property for many years to come. Of course, like anything else, you’ll get a longer useful life out of your fire pit if you provide it with proper care. That means having maintenance performed periodically to keep things working well, and consider using a cover to keep it out of the elements when some particularly nasty weather moves in. With basic care, your metal fire pit should be a popular gathering point for a long time to come.

What are fire pits good for?

The primary purpose of a fire pit on most commercial properties is to serve as a gathering area for people to relax and spend time after the sun goes down. Fire pits are commonly used by restaurants as a patio feature that can serve as a central hub around which people will mill about, chat with friends, and enjoy food and drinks. Plenty of other types of commercial properties can use fire pits as well, including hotels, office buildings, and more. Anywhere people might want to gather with each other and enjoy the ambiance of an open flame is a great opportunity to place a beautiful metal fire pit.

Is a fire pit a good investment?

A new fire pit can be a great investment for a commercial property in the right situation. For instance, if the fire pit allows a bar and restaurant to keep customers around a little bit longer into the evening – and those customers make additional purchases while they are there – that would be a direct way to recover the investment that was made in the pit. To make sure the investment pans out as you hope, it’s best to shop with a proven brand like CopperSmith that is going to deliver a high-quality product that can serve you well for years ahead.

Do fire pits keep you warm in winter?

While fire pits do put off some heat – and a bigger fire pit will offer more heat – they are used more for ambiance and atmosphere than for warmth. People sitting near the fire pit may feel some warmth coming off of the flames, but they will more likely be motivated to stay and hang out in the space just because of the nice setting that the fire creates.
