4 Fire Pit Chair Ideas for your Outdoor Patio

Fire Pit Chair Idea #1: Campfire Chair

As the name suggests, the Campfire Chair is specifically designed to be enjoyed around an open fire. It's built with a slight variation to our classic poly adirondack chair - enjoy the timeless look of an adirondack chair with a convenient raised seat and more upright seat back. The small adjustments of the raised seat and more upright back make it easy to get in and out of the chair. It also helps facilitate conversation as you're facing one another as opposed to staring up towards the sky. 

In addition to the stylish and comfortable design, the campfire chair is equally sturdy and durable. The chair weighs in at 47 lbs. - heavy enough to not blow away in the wind, but also light enough to maneuver around your fire pit when entertaining guests on your patio.

Fire Pit Chair Idea #2: Folding Adirondack Chair

The classic adirondack chair should also be on your short list of considerations when comparing fire pit chair ideas. 

As is the case for most things in life, it's difficult to beat the original. Take movies for example: Dumb and Dumberer ... Sandlot 2 ... Space Jam 2 ... The Santa Claus 2 ... c'mon. Some things are best left as the original, and that's the case with the timeless poly adirondack chair.

The adirondack chair was our original poly furniture product and it remains one of our best sellers. And for good reason - it's handcrafted by local artisans that prioritize comfortable contoured seats and chair backs while also featuring durable, all weather poly lumber material. Meaning, you no longer have to cover your fire pit chairs or bring them inside during rainy or snowy seasons. 

Phat Tommy's adirondack chairs allow you to enjoy a nice bon fire with your friends and family any time of the year and not have to worry about the longevity of your chairs. 

Lastly, if you're looking for a portable and versatile chair to use around your fire pit, look no further. These chairs are foldable by design - allowing you to transport them around your patio ease. Poly adirondack chairs ship assembled. Simply open, unfold and enjoy!

Not only can you escape the heat with a poly rocking chair, but you can also dodge the pesky smoke when it changes your direction. What more could you ask for from a fire pit chair!

Phat Tommy's poly rocking chair has a comfortable 18" seat height - allowing you to get up and out of your chair with ease when you have to run back inside to grab your S'more ingredients.

Common Fire Pit Chair Idea FAQs

1. What kind of chairs are good around a fire pit?

It's obvious, but you'll want durable chairs around your fire pit. Clearly your outdoor patio is exposed to all weather elements and you'll want a chair that is weatherproof that you don't have to replace every other year. There's no better option than Phat Tommy's poly chairs!

You'll also likely want chairs that are seated lower to the ground to enable easy access to the fire pit for roasting marshmallows or hot dogs.

2. Are adirondack chairs good for fire pit?

Yes, adirondack chairs are a nice option for most fire pits. In fact, they're many peoples first choice.

Phat Tommy's poly adirondack chairs are stylish, comfortable, and are the perfect height. Many like the look of placing a side poly table in between the adirondack chairs to complete your fire pit patio design.

As discussed above, however, if you're looking for a slightly more upright adirondack chair style, consider our campfire chairs!

3. How many chairs should be around a fire pit?

Fire pit enthusiasts tend to gravitate towards setting up 4 chairs around a fire pit. For most fire pit setups, a general guide is 4-6 chairs, depending on the size of your fire pit.

You also need to consider if you want a patio side table; which will restrict how many chairs can comfortably sit around your campfire.

4. How tall should fire pit seating be?

Fire pit seating should be between 12 - 17 inches from the ground - depending on your personal preference. 

The better question is, how far away should fire pit seating be? Even our extremely durable poly lumber can be damaged if left too close to an open flame. To be safe, we recommend keeping your poly chairs 3 feet back from your fire pit.
