Fire safety
Fire pit and BBQ distance from buildings
Germany
No single national setback applies to every plot. Check the municipality, regional code and utility easements before fixing this zone on the plan.
Distances and rules
Open fire — a fire pit or BBQ — is kept clear of buildings, fences and anything flammable, so sparks and heat cannot start a fire. The exact clearance depends on the country and local fire rules.
Official local check
Confirm the distance with the municipality / competent authority for the plot.
Baden-Württemberg Building Code, §5–6 (setbacks and boundary structures)
Important limitation
This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
