Fire Pit Chairs

Fire pit chairs for every seating style

Fire pit chairs work best when they are low, deep and relaxed, so you can settle in for a long evening. This page includes Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs, rocking chairs, glider benches and swivel chairs in a range of colors from natural and brown to gray, black, white and blue.

Check each listing to see whether you are buying a single chair or a set, and plan the circle around the total seat count.

Fire pit Adirondack chairs

Fire pit Adirondack chairs have a slanted back, a low seat and wide arms that hold a drink, which is why they are a classic around a fire. Select models fold flat for storage, and others rock.

You will find Adirondack chairs in solid wood and in HDPE plastic, in colors such as white, gray, brown and blue.

Chairs around fire pit spacing and count

Chairs around a fire pit should sit far enough back to stay comfortable and leave a path to walk behind them. A common guideline is at least 3 feet between the pit's edge and the chairs, and you should always follow the fire pit maker's instructions.

Four to six chairs suit most backyard fire pits. Measure your seating circle first, and remember that gliders and rockers need extra room to move.

Best fire pit chairs and materials

The best fire pit chairs are sturdy, stable on uneven ground and made from materials you are comfortable keeping at a safe distance from flames. Options here include solid acacia, HDPE, resin wicker, aluminum and steel.

Plastic, wicker and fabric cushions can scorch or melt if they get too close to heat or sparks, so keep them back from the fire and put a cover on chairs when you are done.

Outdoor fire pit chairs for comfort and movement

Outdoor fire pit chairs can do more than sit still. Some rock, some glide, and select models swivel, which lets you turn toward the fire or the conversation.

Some designs include cushions, and some lounge chairs have an adjustable backrest. Look for a seat height you can stand up from easily after a long evening.
