What you can expect under £500
At this price point you will find compact fire bowls in Corten and mild steel, smaller wood-burning pits and a small number of bioethanol fire features. The wood-burning bowls in this band are typically 50 to 70 cm in diameter, which suits a garden seating circle for four to six people. Materials are honest, with steel gauges of 2 to 3 mm being common.
Where the trade-offs sit
Under £500, the trade-off is usually one of size, fuel type or weight. You will find fewer gas fire pits at this band because the burner, regulator and certification add cost. Wood-burning bowls dominate, which suits a household happy to lay and tend a fire rather than press an ignition. Materials are durable but typically lighter gauge than the larger £1000+ pieces.
What does not change
Free UK delivery, manufacturer warranty and our usual brand-vetting all apply. The brands in this price band include BonFeu, Igneus and a small number of Adezz pieces. You are not buying a stripped-down compromise, you are buying a smaller or simpler piece from the same makers as the rest of the range.
Frequently asked questions

Are there gas fire pits under £500?
A small number. Gas burners, regulators and certification add cost, so most affordable gas fire pits sit just above £500. Check the current listing for what is available now.
