URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

When incorporating a fire pit into urban outdoor spaces, selecting fire-resistant furniture is crucial for safety and compliance. Modern options include furniture constructed from non-combustible materials such as powder-coated steel, aluminum, cast iron, and certain treated metals. These materials resist ignition and withstand radiant heat. For seating, look for cushions filled with flame-retardant foam and covered with fabrics like solution-dyed acrylic or specially treated polyester that meet fire safety standards (such as CAL 117). Concrete, stone, and tile tabletops are excellent choices as they are inherently fireproof. Always maintain proper clearance—typically at least 3-6 feet—between furniture and the fire pit, as recommended by local codes. Opt for heavy, stable pieces that won't easily tip and avoid highly flammable materials like untreated wood or wicker near open flames. Many manufacturers now offer stylish, UL-certified collections designed specifically for use near heat sources, blending urban aesthetics with essential fire safety for worry-free outdoor enjoyment.
