Fire safety
Fire pit and BBQ distance from buildings — Germany
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.
