Spring Entertaining: Fire Pits for Heritage Day & Beyond
Spring has arrived in South Africa — longer days, warmer evenings, and the perfect excuse to gather your loved ones outdoors. Whether it’s a Heritage Day braai or a relaxed garden get-together, nothing brings people together quite like a fire pit. At The Fire Pit Company, we craft durable, stylish fire pits designed to elevate your outdoor entertaining this season.
Why Fire Pits Are Perfect for Spring Entertaining
Spring is all about reconnecting. A fire pit becomes more than just a source of warmth — it’s a centrepiece for conversation, cooking, and creating memories. From grilling boerewors to roasting marshmallows, a well-designed fire pit blends function with atmosphere.
Hosting tip: Add string lights, outdoor cushions, and a fire pit, and your garden instantly becomes the ultimate spring entertaining space.
Fire Pits for Heritage Day Celebrations
Heritage Day (24 September) is one of South Africa’s favourite times to braai — and a fire pit takes it to the next level. All our fire pits are ideal for open-flame cooking, while their sleek designs add style to your patio or garden.
Flat vs. Hemi Dish Fire Pits → Perfect for cooking versatility
Grids & Accessories → Make braaiing effortless

A fire pit isn’t just for Heritage Day — it’s for every weekend get-together that deserves great food and great company.
