Collection: Outdoor Heating

Outdoor heating should be selected around the layout of the entertaining area and the type of flame feature you actually want. Alfresco Outdoors & Heating carries standalone fire pits as well as gas fire-pit tables, giving customers the choice between a dedicated fire feature and a piece of outdoor furniture that also provides flame and warmth.

The standalone range includes Boston steel and stainless-steel fire pits in several diameters, along with Oxley, Barrington and Hawkesbury designs. Size matters with an open fire pit because the unit needs suitable clearance from furniture, structures and combustible materials. A larger bowl can become the visual centre of a substantial outdoor area, while a more compact model is easier to place in a smaller open space provided the manufacturer's clearances can still be met.

Gas fire-pit tables offer a different type of setup. Bondi gas fire-pit coffee tables and bar-height fire-pit furniture combine a flame feature with the proportions of a coffee or entertaining table, making them relevant to customers who want heating integrated into a lounge or bar arrangement. They also need the correct gas supply or cylinder arrangement and the operating instructions must be followed.

Outdoor fire products should only be used in suitable locations and local fire restrictions always take priority. Check fuel type, required clearances, dimensions and included components on the product page before purchase. For a narrower view of dedicated fire products, use the Fire Pits collection.
