3 Fire Features to Extend Your Garden Season into Autumn

Autumn is the most underrated season for outdoor living - and the right fire feature turns your garden into a warm and inviting retreat long after summer has faded.

In this blog, we'll explore three standout fire features that are the perfect accompaniment to handcrafted teak garden dining sets, benches, and chairs, to create an outdoor space that looks and feels both luxurious and lived-in.

1. Fire Pits

Nothing says "cosy evening" quite like the crackle of a fire pit. It's a classic choice that encourages conversation, connection, and comfort. Whether you're sipping cider under the stars or sharing stories with friends, fire pits create a truly irresistible focal point.

Place yours in the centre of a teak patio set or near a teak bench. The grain and character of teak wood are enhanced beside flickering flames – plus teak furniture is durable enough to stay outside year-round.

2. Chimineas

Looking for warmth in a smaller garden or courtyard? Enter the chiminea. With a sculptural silhouette and vertical charm, a chiminea is a timeless piece that adds heat and personality to tighter spaces.

Set a chiminea next to a pair of teak garden chairs and enjoy the European-inspired atmosphere. Their raised design offers focused warmth without taking over your layout. This makes them a favourite for design-conscious homeowners who love outdoor spaces that are effortlessly elegant.

3. Patio Heaters

For those who entertain well into the evening, a patio heater delivers reliable warmth with a modern edge. Whether gas-powered or electric, these heaters offer wide coverage, making them perfect for larger setups or beneath pergolas.

Pair your patio heater with your teak wood garden furniture set to host long, firelit dinners into October and beyond. The warm glow reflects beautifully off natural teak, blending form and function effortlessly.

How to Safely Set the Scene

  • Always place fire features on a flat, fire-resistant surface like stone or decking
  • Keep cushions, throws, and plants a safe distance away
  • Use weather covers to protect your fire source
  • Burn responsibly with seasoned wood or approved fuels
  • Never leave a fire unattended
  • Use spark guards and heatproof gloves when necessary
