5 Design Ideas for Your Backyard Fire Pit

Many Colorado residents enjoy bringing the camping experience to their backyards with metal fire pits, but finding the right pit design to complement an individual’s preferences and yard can prove challenging. Some people may prefer a basic, rectangular design, while others want their fire pits to make more of a statement. 


Whether you’re interested in a simple fire pit or an intricate design, you may decide to order a fire pit from a custom metal fabrication company like the Koi Lagoon. We’ve created many custom fire pits with all kinds of designs, including those listed below. To discuss your custom fire pit, give us a call at (970) 484-9162 or visit our shop in Fort Collins. 

Check Out These 5 Backyard Fire Pit Designs

1. Classic Rectangular Fire Pit

Folks looking for affordable outdoor fire pits may go with a classic rectangular design. These simple pits offer a sleek, timeless look that matches any backyard. This design doesn’t require as much material as other fire pits we fabricate, making them an attractive option for customers on a budget. If you want to invest in a long-lasting fire pit with a classic look, you may consider this design.

2. Round Fire Pit

A round metal fire pit offers a sleek design but also provides more customization options. You can choose any theme you desire for a round fire pit, whether you want to highlight your favorite wildlife, cover the pit in beautiful flowers, or brand it with your company logo. The pictured pit has a Colorado wildlife theme, including bears, elk, moose, and other animals commonly found throughout this beautiful state.

3. Geodesic Fire Pit

For customers who want unique fire pits that will be the envy of all their friends and neighbors, we highly recommend one of our geodesic pits. Our fabricators have created many geodesic fire pits, including the pictured “dome” design and dome-less 360-degree bowls. These designs offer immense customization opportunities, as each panel can include a different cutout. Check out our metal fire pit page to see some more examples.

4. Mini Fire Pit

If you have limited outdoor space or want a tabletop pit, you may decide on a mini fire pit. This affordable option offers all the benefits of a wood-burning fire pit (or propane/gas) in a tiny footprint that’s easy to move and clean. The pictured example features a mini geodesic design, but we can create little pits in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

5. Flat Stack Portable Fire Pit

While some may prefer a backyard fire pit with a permanent footprint, others may gravitate toward a more portable design. This fire pit design stacks flat, making it easy to bring along on a camping trip. The pieces fit together using slots and gravity, so you won’t need any tools to put it together or take it apart. Each piece uses the same thick-gauge metal we use on our other fire pits, so you won’t have to sacrifice strength or longevity for a portable option.
