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

Raw Mill Finishes → Rustic, authentic character

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

Choosing the Right Fire Pit for Your Space

Not sure which fire pit suits your home? Here are a few tips:

Small spaces → Opt for a compact traveling fire pit (perfect for patios or weekend getaways).

Family entertaining → Deep dishes offer both cooking space and cozy warmth.

Statement gardens → Go bold with the Kolobe Deep in raw mill finish for a dramatic centrepiece.

Each of our designs is handcrafted in South Africa and made to last.
