How much does a custom fire pit cost?

Prices depend on the size, material thickness, finish and complexity of the design. Custom fire pits start from £50. Ready-made options may also be available in the online shop. Contact Dan for a tailored quote.

Can you make a fire pit to my own design?

Yes. Dan creates custom one-off fire pits based on customer ideas and can help develop the size, shape, style and practical details of the finished design.

How long does it take to make a custom fire pit?

Lead times vary depending on Dan's current workload and the complexity of the design. The expected timescale will be confirmed when you enquire.

Do you deliver fire pits in Kent?

Yes. Delivery is available throughout Kent. The delivery cost will depend on the size of the fire pit, the delivery location and whether any additional handling or installation is required.

Will the fire pit rust?

Untreated steel naturally weathers and develops a rusted finish over time. Protective or heat-resistant finishes may also be available, depending on the design and the appearance you prefer.

About

Hi I’m Dan, I’ve spent nearly 30 years in the building trade, but my true passion has always been working with metal and wood – especially reclaimed materials with a bit of history behind them.

From my workshop near Brecon in Wales, I handcraft each piece with care, blending traditional skills with creative design. I take inspiration from the outdoors, whether it’s the textures, shapes or practical ideas that nature provides, and use these influences to create pieces that fit beautifully into homes, gardens and outdoor spaces. We still have a workshop base in Kent too.

Whether it’s a garden sculpture, fire pit, or bespoke furniture, every item is unique and made to last. Most days you’ll find me in the workshop with my trusty King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Casper, keeping me company while I bring new creations to life.
