An outdoor fire pit is the perfect area in your backyard for entertaining. It gives your guests an area to sit and enjoy each other’s company in your backyard. You can stay warm with a fire pit, or you can make sweet treats like roasted marshmallows or smores.
To make your guests as comfortable as possible, you need to offer them the best chairs for the most comfortable fire pit seating, and we’ve got plenty to choose from on our list.
Adirondack chairs are great for backyard fire pit seating because they are comfortable with a low seat and wide arms. The wide arms give you a small surface for sitting a drink or a plate while you gather by the outdoor fire pit. The high, slanted back makes it easy to rest and relax as you sit.
The Wood Country Adirondack chair is made of kiln-dried Western Red Cedar that you can get stained or unfinished. If unstained, you can finish it with the stain or paint color of your choice.
The chair seat is 15” high with 4 x 4 legs, 2 x 6 arms, and a 2 x 4 frame. The back of the chair is angled and contours to your back, so you will always have support as you sit as well as maximum comfort.

Knowing what chairs to choose for the fire pit in your backyard can be determined by your fire pit's size, location, and style.
You should measure the perimeter of your fire pit. This will tell you how many outdoor fire pit chairs you can fit when the chairs are placed as close as possible to the fire pit. Keep in mind that you can always move chairs further back from the perimeter of the fire pit.
While this will accommodate more chairs, it will move your guests further away from the fire, so keep that in mind when choosing what chairs you will add to your fire pit and how many.
The material of your backyard fire pit chairs is important because they will need to withstand the harsh elements as they sit outside during the year. If made of wood, your outdoor furniture will need to be made of a rot-resistant and UV ray-resistant material to preserve the wood and prevent deterioration.
Another great material to consider for an outdoor chair is polyurethane. This type of plastic won’t rot, mildew, or become a home for bugs. Polyurethane chairs are easy to clean by pressure washing or wiping down.
You’ll need to know the measurements of the fire pit chairs to know how many will fit around the fire pit. The width of the chairs will tell you how much space each outdoor chair will take up left to right.
You’ll also need to account for the space in between each chair, so make sure you know the width of the chairs before you make your decision. Do you plan to include a fire pit table as well?
The size and shape of the fire pit may also come into play here as well. A circular fire pit may not be able to accommodate as many individual chairs as a square fire pit, for example. So, really consider your seating options in this case.
You should also consider how much each of the individual chairs weigh, especially if you think you will be moving the chairs from one location to another in your backyard. You may have another area like a pool or playground in your backyard that guests may want to gather at.
Heavy chairs can make it difficult to relocate them from one outdoor space to the next, so you may want to choose a lighter option when choosing the best chair for your fire pit.
Another consideration you may need to make is storing the chairs when they are not in use. You may not want to leave the chairs outside in the elements all year long. If that’s the case, you may want to choose a chair that has a foldable design for easy transition and storage.
Some guests may prefer a comfy fire pit chair with a cushion opposed to an outdoor chair with a wooden seat. This will undoubtedly create a more comfortable experience for you and your guests, but this is also a feature that may create more work for you.
You’ll likely want to make sure you bring the chair cushions indoors each time they’re not in use so that they don’t deteriorate in the elements. Additionally, cushions can absorb smoke from the fire pit, so keep this in mind if you consider choosing a chair with cushions.

Suppose you want to explore getting shaded while dining without the center pole of an umbrella, obstructing a portion of the view or a part of your guest's profile. Buy offset outdoor umbrellas, also known as Cantilevers, instead. They are highlighted with an arched or jointed pole positioned off to one side.
