Our Fabulous Story
Our first firepit was created because we'd been through (literally) so many cheaper ones over the years.
Most fire pits you can buy in the UK which cost between £60 and £500+ are made abroad and are made of thinner steel.
These will wear very quickly in UK weather conditions, often only lasting one or two winter seasons.
This is bad for the environment and bad for your purse!
We wanted to make a fire pit built to last and one that could be easily moved and stored away in winter if desired.
(A challenge as thicker steel that lasts is very heavy.)
Our collapsible fire pit designs allow our fire pits to be dismantled into smaller lighter parts making it easy to move and store them.
After selling many of our fire pits to family and friends we refined the production process and started Fabulous Firepits Limited in July 2020.
During lockdown we sold 100s of fire pits all over the UK. We have 100s of satisfied customers still using their fire pits today!
We also created the first UK made smokeless fire pit in 2021 and have sold many of these over the last few years.

Our video made in 2021
Our video below was made when we had our factory in Sussex but still conveys our ethos.
Due to rising steel and energy costs we sadly had to close our own factory. I took over the business and found a new UK partner to build our fire pits.
So our fire pits are still made in the UK at our manufacturing partner in Sheffield whose high-tech ISO accredited production processes ensure quality and consistency of our fabulous fire pits! In fact the quality of our product has improved greatly since those early years.
