5 Reasons Aussie Campers Are Ditching Flat-Pack Fire Pits
Let’s be honest — setting up camp shouldn’t feel like a wrestling match with flimsy bits of metal and dodgy screws. Yet every year, thousands of Aussies hit the road with a flat-pack fire pit… only to end up frustrated, burnt, or worse — without a fire!
Here’s why more and more campers, caravanners and 4WD lovers are ditching flat-pack setups and switching to a smarter, tougher, and way easier solution: the ArcPit.
1. No More Fiddly Assembly at the End of a Big Day
After 8 hours on the road dodging potholes and corrugations, the last thing you want is to muck around with complicated setup instructions. Flat-pack fire pits often come with multiple loose pieces, nuts, bolts — and zero patience.
The ArcPit? It mounts directly to your spare tyre, and sets up in under a minute. No tools. No screws. No swearing.
✅ Just unstrap, flip it down, and you’re ready to light up.
2. Built Tough for Aussie Conditions
Let’s face it — not all gear is made for red dust, rain, and bush-bashing. Many flat-pack fire pits are thin, cheaply made, and start warping or rusting after a few uses.
The ArcPit is:
- Made from high-grade 3mm stainless steel
- Designed and tested right here in Australia
- Backed by a 3-year warranty and thousands of happy customers
💪 It’s built for the Outback. Not a backyard Bunnings BBQ.
3. Space-Saving Design That Actually Makes Sense
Most flat-pack pits claim to “save space,” but they usually end up thrown in the backseat or shoved under a pile of gear. The ArcPit’s patented design stores over your spare tyre — completely out of the way.
Whether you’re towing a van, loading up a canopy, or running a swag setup in the back of your 4WD, this fire pit won’t take up an inch of your internal storage.
🎯 It’s not just portable. It’s practical.
4. Doubles as a Campfire BBQ
What’s better than a warm fire under the stars? A hot feed cooked over it.
Add on our ArcMate BBQ Cooking Plates or Rotisserie Kit, and your ArcPit turns into a fully-fledged BBQ setup in seconds. Steaks, roasts, snags, chargrilled veg — if you can cook it at home, you can cook it on the ArcPit.
🔥 Bonus: It burns wood or charcoal, so you can switch it up depending on your setup.
5. Backed by Real Campers, Not Just a Factory Somewhere
ArcMate isn’t just another camping brand. We’re a family-run Aussie business built by campers, for campers. Every ArcMate product is designed based on real feedback from people who spend weekends (or full-time) living the van life or chasing bush sunsets.
We believe in gear that makes your time at camp simpler, better, and more enjoyable — not more stressful.
