This unique fire pit shelter and outdoor classroom combines two functions – firstly it can act both as a shelter for your forest school or playground outdoor learning area plus you can use it as an outdoor classroom and teaching facility.
But it’s main point of difference is that it has a fire-pit built in the middle which the children can either conduct their outdoor cooking on or use it as a means to warm up by! The fire pit shelter, with its in-built benches, will provide natural protection from the wind and will create a cozy, enclosed area for a relaxed time around the fire area. A Forest School practitioner will need to carry out the daily site risk assessments and provide for adequate safety.
If a fire pit is going to be sited in the middle of the shelter, then we allow for a hole or vent to be cut into the apex of the roof to allow for the smoke to adequately exhaust. And we also allow for the application of a fire retardant intumescent varnish to be applied to the underside of the roof.
We can also offer a cheaper alternative using a canvas roof which has special flame retardant properties built into it. This product also features an option to have full-length roll down canvas panels (using the same flame retardant material) to provide for extra protection from the elements.
This product is one of our bests sellers to schools.
nb We do not supply the actual fire pit but we can advise of where to buy these
