FAQ

Wood or gas fire pit in Australia?

Wood for ambience; gas for cleaner burns and many strata rules. Always check fire bans.

How far from the house?

Follow the maker clearances; keep clear of sails, eaves and dry vegetation.

Need a spark screen?

Recommended for wood pits near kids and soft furnishings.

Balcony use?

Many buildings ban open flame — check strata first.

Shade nearby?

Keep cantilevers/sails away from heat and embers.
