FIREPITS, BOWLS & TABLES
Firebowls look great and help you put on a bit of a show for guests. They’re a wonderful way to add decorative style to your garden and provide a cosy focal point where friends and family can come together. Standing in the centre of your patio, the 360-degree open flames can be enjoyed by large groups of people. Plus those suitable for cooking on have a good-sized area for creating large BBQ feasts. Many models have a wide range of accessories available – including those to improve their versatility as a cooking appliance, such as rotisserie skewers, kettles and steamer pots – and even useful tabletops for when they’re not in use. Firebowls come in a range of different materials – including concrete and stone, which give a natural, more organic feel. Stainless steel gives a modern, industrial look. It’s lightweight, rust-free and weatherand heat-resistant. Copper models are usually bowl shaped with a flat lip around the circumference. Copper develops a nice patina in time. Aluminum is lightweight, durable and needs little maintenance. Polyresin can be moulded to resemble the intricate detail of natural stone. It’s sturdy, lightweight and low-maintenance. Corten steel develops a protective, striking rusty appearance, creating rich, warm textures that protects the steel below.
