FAQs

Yes we are fully insured to rent out firepits and also provide a Firepit Attendant at your event. If you have any questions about insurance and risk mitigation please contact us at hello@firepithirescotland.co.uk

Our firepits have been handcrafted from robust iron and finished in an authentic black iron effect. Inspired by traditional design, these firepits feature authentic detailing throughout as seen in their integral looped handles and the riveted motifs adorning the entirety of their framework. They span 80cm in diameter and are perfect for keeping cosy, toasting marshmallows and they look great!

We use kiln-dried wood as standard, sourced as sustainably as possible. Kiln-dried wood burns hotter and cleaner with less smoke than wet or seasoned wood, so you get a better, longer-lasting fire for your guests to enjoy all evening.

Yes. For insurance purposes we must have a Firepit Attendant at each hire. The Firepit Attendants role is to ensure a fun and safe experience for you and your guests.

Our Firepit Attendants will be on hand to ensure your firepit is well looked after and they can also hand out marshmallows and skewers to your guests.

We understand that you may not want our Firepit Attendant to be that visible on your day but rest assured we will be as discreet as we possibly can be to ensure that you and your guests fully enjoy their day. In order to make our Firepit Attendants visible they will be wearing a branded apron.

Yes we would agree a start and end time with you and build in a setup and takedown time also.

We will also dispose of all embers and burnt material from the firepit and we aim to leave no trace.

Absolutely — we can provide multiple firepits for larger weddings, corporate events and festivals, not just a single firepit. A Firepit Attendant is on hand throughout to manage the fires safely, whatever the number. Just let us know your guest numbers and venue layout and we’ll recommend the right setup for you.

That really depends on when you would like us to be there. It’s takes about 30 - 60 minutes to setup the firepit but if you’re looking for inspiration check out our blog to identify the best time to introduce a firepit at your wedding here.

Unfortunately not — our firepits are designed for outdoor use only, for safety and ventilation reasons. If you’re planning an event with limited outdoor space, get in touch and we can help you find the best spot, whether that’s a garden, courtyard, terrace or marquee with open sides.

We care about the world and recognise that our service has an impact on the environment which is why we invest in planting two trees for every new customer so we’re not only balancing out the impact we have but we’re hopefully leaving the world in a better place.

This really depends on the setup you would like. For a market stall we would require 6 × 3m of space. However for larger events we would need around 3 × 2m per firepit.

Firepits are designed for natural guest flow, rather than all guests using them at once. This keeps the experience relaxed and avoids overcrowding. For larger events, we recommend multiple firepits.
