Providing top marks for price, looks, safety and ease of use, this VonHaus fire pit is a great option for any garden and is a great size.
The open mesh geometric design means light and heat is given out in a complete 360° area, which makes it great for entertaining and using as a focal point.
It can burn wood logs and charcoal, depending on preference, whatever you find more comfortable to use and the amount of smoke you’re willing to create. In terms of safety, there is a mesh lid cover to act as a spark guard, so spitting from the flames is reduced. You also get a heat-resistant poker, so you have a bit more control.
As it only weighs 9.5kg, it is relatively easy to lift and move around. There are handles either side of the pit so you can lift it when you want to chase the sun or just store it away for the night.
There is minimal assembly needed – all we had to do was screw the legs on and use some bolts to keep the lid in place. Instructions are easy to follow.
The only downside is that you can’t use it as a grill, but if you want a fire pit purely for heat then this is not an issue and certainly doesn’t let it down in any way.
