A rectangular fire pit puts a long line of flame in front of your sofa, sectional or long bench, spreading warmth along the whole row. The shape also suits two rows of seats facing each other in your backyard. A long and low pit gives you a ledge along both sides for drinks. A linear trough keeps the outline slim, while an outdoor fire table with a full table top gives you more room for plates. Start with your seating, then choose the length, height and place for the propane tank.


Choose your length and height

Lengths include 48 inches, 60 inches, 72 inches, 96 inches and 108 inches, with options up to 120 inches. Low pits stand about 15 to 20 inches tall. Troughs have recessed bases for a floating look, with a long burner in the middle. For a rectangle fire pit table, compare coffee table height around 24 inches with dining height at 28 to 32 inches.

A propane tank or a gas line?

Want no hose across the patio? Choose a rectangle fire pit with propane tank inside. Many have an end door or base drawer. Others use an optional enclosure beside the pit. If you want to run from a tank, start with a rectangle propane fire pit, or compare both fuels in our rectangular gas fire pit range. Your fuel choice sets the fittings, and you set the adjustable flame height at the valve.

Pick your material and finish

Glass-fiber concrete looks like stone at a fraction of the weight, with wood-grain textures available. Metal options include powder-coated steel in 15 colors, stainless steel and Corten steel with a rust finish. Hand-hammered copper develops a patina outdoors. Most are match lit, electronic ignition is optional, and on a long burner the whole row lights from one end. The burner, pan, hose and fittings come in the box, usually with lava rock, and a wind guard is optional and matters more on a long flame.

Frequently asked questions

What shape fire pit is best?

Let your seating decide. A rectangle suits a sofa, sectional or two benches facing each other, with a long flame warming the row. Round suits a ring of chairs. Square works with seating along four straight sides.

Can a rectangular fire pit hide the propane tank?

Yes. Many pieces have a hinged end door or base drawer for a standard 20 lb propane tank. Some need extra height to make room inside. You slide the tank out to swap or refill it.

Can I run a rectangular fire pit on natural gas?

Yes. Nearly every piece can be ordered for natural gas or propane, and your choice sets the fittings. A gas fitter connects natural gas models to the house line. A few tall tables are propane only, so check the listing.
