How to Select the Right Round Fire Pit?
Selecting a round fire pit table for your patio can feel overwhelming with countless styles, colors, and fuel types. However, after helping hundreds of homeowners optimize their outdoor spaces, we have found that the decision boils down to three categories.
Space-Saving Models: Designed for compact patios, balconies, or cozy corners where every inch of square footage counts.
Multi-Function Entertaining: Tables with wide rims and sturdy surfaces, designed to hold drinks and plates while the fire burns.
Safety-First Designs: Units prioritized for families, featuring CSA certifications, compatibility with glass wind guards, and spark screens.
Below, we review our top curated picks for each category.
Best Space-Saving Round Fire Pit Tables
Ideal for: Balconies, Small Patios, and Intimate Conversation Areas.
A space saving round fire pit table is the answer to enjoying a crackling fire without sacrificing your entire outdoor footprint. The best compact tables integrate a powerful burner into a vertical or tight-radius design (often called "Fire Bowls" or "Columns"). This allows for warmth and ambiance without dominating the walkway.
At Lux Yard and Homes, we exclusively stock models from established specialists like Elementi and Warming Trends. Unlike cheaper steel options that rust, these units are often crafted from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), which is lighter and more durable than natural stone.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between a Propane and a Natural Gas fire pit table?
The choice primarily affects mobility and operating cost. Propane fire pit tables are portable and house the tank within the unit's base (or nearby), making them easy to place anywhere. Natural Gas fire pit tables require a permanent gas line installation but offer unlimited fuel, are cheaper to operate, and often provide higher British Thermal Units (BTUs).
What is the most durable material for a round fire pit table?
For premium outdoor performance, we recommend tables made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). GFRC is exceptionally durable, lightweight compared to traditional concrete, and resists cracking, fading, and weathering better than many metal or wood alternatives. This ensures your investment lasts for years.
How many BTUs do I need for a fire pit to actually feel warm?
For ambient warmth in mild climates, look for a unit with at least 40,000 BTUs. For areas with cooler temperatures or for true heating power when seated, we generally recommend models in the 50,000 to 65,000 BTU range. BTU output should always be balanced against your table's wind protection and the fire media used.
What height fire table should I choose for my patio?
This depends on its function. Coffee table height (18" to 22") is ideal for cozy, relaxed conversation areas where you plan to lounge. Dining or Chat height (29" to 36") is better for tables you intend to eat at or use as a standing gathering spot.
Are gas fire pit tables safe to use on wooden or composite decks?
Yes, modern gas fire tables that are CSA-certified are designed to be safe on most deck surfaces. They vent heat upwards, minimizing downward heat transfer. However, if your deck material is highly sensitive or older, using a non-flammable protective pad underneath the unit is always a proactive measure we recommend.
