Fire Ring vs. Fire Pit
A fire ring sits directly on the ground and contains a wood fire, like a campsite ring. A raised fire pit has a bowl and legs, making it a better fit for patios and pavers.

Decorative cutouts turn a fire ring into a centerpiece. Choose from horse, wildlife and patriotic designs that glow and throw shadows once the fire is lit.
Set your fire ring on level gravel, sand or bare soil cleared of grass and roots. A layer of gravel or lava rock inside the ring helps with drainage and heat.
Keep the ring well away from structures, fences and low branches, and check local burn rules before your first fire.
It's best not to. Clear the grass and set the ring on gravel, sand or bare soil so heat and embers don't damage your lawn or start a grass fire.
Fire rings are designed to sit on the ground. For stone or paver patios, a raised fire pit is usually the better choice.
A few inches of gravel or sand under the fire helps drainage and protects the ground. Burn only dry, seasoned firewood.
Fire Horse products are made with rust-resistant powder coated steel to prevent rusting. Additional rust prevention care would be remove ash after each use, let the ring dry out, and cover it during long stretches of wet weather or the off-season.
