Don't hit the shops until you've read our guide to buying a fire pit

What type of fire pit to choose

* Steel fire pits are rust resistant and ideal if you plan to leave it outside all year round.

Cast iron fire pits are robust, rust resistant and cheaper option to steel fire pits, however they can be heavy and awkward to move around.

* Stone fire pits will add a rustic look to your garden, however stone can be prone to cracking.
