A crackling, flickering campfire creates a romantic atmosphere and has had a magical attraction for people since time immemorial. With a brick fireplace, a cozy place for social evenings can be installed in a sufficiently large garden. A fire bowl, on the other hand, is mobile and can be placed in a new location at any time. This is particularly practical if you want to decorate and illuminate the garden in an interesting way on special occasions.
With a fire basket you can create a nice atmosphere
Fire baskets come in many different designs
Fire baskets are - as the name suggests - a basket, usually made of cast iron or corten steel. The sides of the basket are provided with recesses so that the fire inside always gets enough oxygen to blaze. With a fire basket, the archaic campfire can be accommodated safely and decoratively in the garden, provided you observe the necessary safety measures when lighting it. Fire baskets are available in many different designs: Classically round, in the shape of a basket or with motif cut-outs that cast a pretty shadow pattern in the garden.
Ideas for decorating the garden with fire baskets
There are many ideas for decorating with fire baskets, if you take a look around on the well-known platforms. Fire baskets placed at regular intervals in the garden, for example, are interesting - either in a line (practically as a kind of avenue), in a square, in a U-shape or whatever you can think of. These can be used wonderfully to illuminate a summer garden party and conjure up an incomparable atmosphere among the guests. Other ideas even use the fire basket completely outside of its purpose - for example to decorate living spaces in which, of course, no open fire should be kindled. The fire basket serves as an eye-catcher and can even be used for its actual purpose on the balcony or terrace if required.
Use the fire basket safely
However you want to use the fire pit, there is one thing you absolutely must consider: the safety measures when kindling and maintaining a fire in a fire pit. These include:
- The fire basket must always stand on a fireproof surface.
- Maintaining a safe distance from flammable objects and materials
- Maintaining a safe distance from house walls or similar.
- Only natural, dry and suitable wood may be burned.
- no use of fire accelerants such as petrol or spirit
- no decoration of the fire basket itself with combustible or non-heat-resistant materials
tips
If you like something special, you can also plant your fire basket. In this case, however, it can no longer be used to make fire.
