It’s still shorts-and-sandals weather, so writing about autumn evenings might feel like jumping the gun. But there’s a very practical reason to think about it now rather than in September: we’re currently running a 6-8 week lead time in the workshop. Every fire pit sphere, bowl, water feature and wall piece we make is hand-drawn, hand-cut and finished in Britain to order — nothing sits on a shelf waiting to be shipped — and right now that process is taking longer than usual simply because so many of you are ordering.
That means if you want something glowing in your garden for the first properly cold evening of the year, the order needs to go in during the next few weeks, not once the frost has already arrived.
Fire Pit Spheres & Bowls: built for exactly this moment
This is where most of our customers start, and for good reason. A fire pit sphere or bowl is the centrepiece that makes an autumn garden usable again — somewhere to gather once the sun goes down at 6pm instead of 9pm. Every one is cut from 6mm steel and built to last 20+ years, left outside in all weathers, so it’s not a purchase you’re making for one season — it’s one you’re making for every autumn and winter to come.
If you’re choosing between a sphere and a bowl, our sphere size guide and bowl size guide walk through sizing and heat output for different garden and group sizes. And if you want to know how to keep it looking its best through the wetter months ahead, our firepit care guide covers exactly that.
Prices can be spread with Klarna if you’d rather not commit the full amount up front — it’s available on every product page at checkout.
Also worth getting ahead of: water features & wall art
The same lead time applies to our water features and illuminated wall art and beacons, and they’re just as much a part of an autumn garden as a fire pit — a sculptural water feature carved from steel or a warmly lit wall beacon both do a lot of work to make a garden feel finished once the planting has died back for winter. These are carved and cut from the same robust steel as the fire pits, built to last decades outdoors, so ordering one now means it’s ready and settled into the garden well before the weather turns.

Not sure what’s right for your space?
If you’re weighing up sizes, finishes, or thinking about something fully bespoke, it’s often quicker to talk it through than go back and forth by email. You can book a free consultation call directly with Jason, who’ll talk you through sizing, finish and lead time for your specific space.
The short version
Nothing about your garden needs to change today. But if you want a fire pit, water feature or piece of wall art ready and waiting for the first cold evening of autumn, the order needs to go in now — while there’s still time for it to be made, delivered, and settled into your garden before you need it.
