How far should a fire pit be away from the house and trees?

When it comes to fire safety, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fire pit. However, as a general rule of thumb, you should keep your fire pit at least 10 feet away from your house and any trees. This will help prevent fires from spreading to your home or landscaping.

Why is it important to keep your fire pit a safe distance from your house and trees?

  • Fire can spread quickly. If your fire pit is too close to your house, the flames or sparks could easily ignite your home.
  • Trees can catch fire easily. Dead or dry leaves and branches are highly flammable, so if your fire pit is too close to a tree, it could easily set the tree on fire.
  • Fire can cause serious damage. A house fire can cause extensive damage to your home and belongings. A tree fire can damage your landscaping and create a hazard for your family and pets.

How can I make sure my fire pit is safe to use?

In addition to keeping your fire pit a safe distance from your house and trees, there are several other things you can do to make sure your fire pit is safe to use:

  • Use a fire pit that is approved for outdoor use.
  • Build your fire pit on a level, non-flammable surface.
  • Never leave a fire unattended.
  • Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby in case of an emergency.
  • Dispose of ashes properly.
