Portable Fire Pit Uses & How-To

Whether you’re at the beach, out camping or even in your backyard, fire pits are versatile but often they aren’t something you can just pick up and go. With our Merax Portable Fire Pit, you can take the pit with you wherever you plan on going and have a toasty fire at your destination. Check out a few ways you can use a portable fire pit below:

Outdoor Party Focal Point

When you’re having a small outdoor get together when it’s a little chilly outside or during the evening, a portable fire pit is a great way to get people to congregate towards the same area and stay warm. If throwing larger outdoor parties is more of your style, you can get creative and have multiple fire pits for guests to warm themselves up and socialize.

Portable Marshmallow Roaster 

Our fire pit is a great way to spice up any event you are having with family or friends by allowing you to roast marshmallows and make s’mores or other foods. Bond around the fire while indulging in great meals with a portable fire pit.

Staying Warm

Whether you’re at a soccer game for your child and it’s freezing out or you don’t want to let cold weather keep you cooped up inside, our portable fire pit is a great option for you to stay warm wherever you happen to be outside.

How to Use

Placement 

Make sure that wherever you place your fire pit, it’s in a stable environment to ensure the safety of you and others around you. A stable environment qualifies as a flat, stable surface. Examples of prime safe locations to  place a portable fire pit are: concrete, gravel, bricks and more.

Safety

Take care to ensure your fire pit is not directly below a roof or anything else that could catch on fire. Ensure that there is nothing that can catch fire in the immediate surroundings of your fire pit, such as dead leaves, pine needles etc. Be sure to keep a bucket of water nearby in the event of an emergency.

Extinguishing the Fire

The best way to extinguish the fire in your pit is to first use the included fire poker to separate the wood, making the flames smaller and easier to put out. Once the flames are reduced, slowly add water or sand to smother the fire until it is completely put out.

Hanging Lights and Ceiling Lights – What is the Difference?

Lighting may seem like it’s not a big deal when it comes to you and your home – but it can be one of the first things you, your family and guests notice when walking into a room but not realizing it. Lighting can change the entire feel of the room to the point where it can even impact your own emotions, which is why we thought we at Meritline would create a blog post dedicated to the different kinds of lighting options you have at your disposal and which may be right for you depending on your own preferences.

Hanging Lights

Opting for hanging lights in your home is a great option if you generally prefer your lighting to be immediately seen and take center stage. Hanging lights easily grab attention due to their unexpected placement of hanging off the ceiling rather than being firmly attached to the surface or closer to the ground like a lamp. If you prefer the unexpected and going a little bit against the grain, hanging lights may be just the thing for you. Check out our most popular Merax hanging lights:

Ceiling Lights

Closer in proximity to the surface of the ceiling, these lights are great for those that want high functionality out of their lighting while also having them blend into the background and not take away from other furniture pieces in the space. Have them nearly disappear by taking care to match the finish of the light with your surrounding walls, or choose to have them serve as merely an accent piece with a color opposite of your ceiling (i.e. lights with a black finish paired with a white ceiling). Change the direction of these lights to provide customized shine where you need it the most.

Light Track Ceiling Light
