Fire Pit Table Size Options
Whether your table has a warming unit, or it’s just a table, fire pit table sizes are exactly similar to regular table sizes.
22″ – 23″ and 23.5″ – 25″ Height Fire Pit Tables
This height is the size of traditional coffee tables for your living room. The table is perfect for a lounging patio set and has space to place your drinks as you socialize with friends. Keep in mind that only a fire pit table with ethanol fuel can be used in an indoor space. Fire pit table come in both rectangular and round sizes.
28″ – 29.5″ Height Fire Pit Tables
For larger, more formal gatherings, consider the dining height of a 28″ – 29.5″ fire pit table. Depending on the width and depth of the table, you can have a cozy gathering of 4, or larger group of 6 people surrounding the table with room for small plates and beverages. Specific fire pit tables come with burner covers, so it can also be used as a traditional table. During fall or winter evenings, remove the covers and use the burners for warmth as the temperature falls.
36″ – 38″ Height Fire Pit Tables
These counter-height fire pit tables offer a place to either use bar stools or stand around for social get-togethers. Accessories, such as glass wind guards to protect guests from errant flames on gusty nights. The height of this fire pit table offers more flexibility for groups to move around instead of having a seated party at the dining height fire pit table.
Fire Pit Table Materials
There are surprisingly a decent amount of fire pit table materials selections: GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete), steel, powder-coated steel, cor-ten steel, cast aluminum, and copper. For the steel and copper selections, the key is to get a cover for your fire pit table and closely monitor the surfaces to deal with rust and nicks to extend the life and use of the table for as long as possible. The copper and cor-ten steel fire pit tables have an unmatched aesthetic with rich gold and tan tones, which can transform the look of your outdoor setup. Firepit tables made out of cast aluminum have longevity because aluminum doesn’t rust. Surprisingly, the fire pit table made of GFRC has the appearance of concrete but is lightweight and easier to move around.
Fire Pit Table Fuels
Wood
If you’re interested in a traditional fireplace or outdoor firepit feel, there is a fire pit table that is a wood burning option. You use wood for your fuel and benefit from the sounds and smells of a burning outdoor fire. Wood fire pit tables have to be installed a safe distance from anything that may catch on fire from random sparks and embers. You should clean this table after each use in order to keep it from rusting or wearing out from the residual ashes and soot leftover after use.
Natural Gas
Just like any appliance which uses natural gas, there is a low-maintenance, ease of use when you install a fire pit table with a natural gas line. It’s convenient, and you don’t have to worry about it running out of fuel when hosting an extended gathering. It also burns evenly because it has a constant supply of fuel.
Propane
Using propane for your fire pit table has the benefit of making it more portable. The fire pit table has a space to hide the tank, and because of the tank, you can move your table to different spots depending on your space. If you’re not currently a homeowner, this also might the investment you want to make because you can take it with you if you decide to move.
Ethanol
Using a fire pit table with ethanol also offers more flexibility because it is a fuel that you have to refill. Ethanol is a clean-burning fuel that doesn’t require lines or tanks, so it makes it a bit more user-friendly than propane fuel. The flame that is produced by ethanol fuel isn’t as intense as other fuels – it has a softer glowing flame.
