What are the fire safety concerns for metal outdoor sofas near fire pits?
When placing metal outdoor sofas near fire pits, several fire safety concerns arise. Metal conducts heat efficiently, which means sofas can become dangerously hot if too close to flames. Prolonged exposure may weaken the material or cause burns. Ensure a safe distance (at least 3-5 feet) between the sofa and fire pit, and avoid flammable cushions. Opt for heat-resistant coatings and regularly inspect for damage. Always supervise open flames and follow local fire safety regulations to minimize risks.
