Safe Use of Outdoor Candles: Tips for Balcony, Terrace, and Garden

Outdoor candles instantly make balconies, patios, and gardens cozier. For candlelight to be enjoyable outdoors, it should always be used consciously and safely.

Stable Surface

Always place candles on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Especially outdoors, wind, uneven ground, or light furniture can quickly become problematic.

Keep Your Distance

Maintain sufficient distance from plants, tablecloths, cushions, curtains, wooden decorations, and other flammable materials.

Mind the Wind

A sheltered spot helps the flame burn more steadily. Do not use candles in strong winds.

Never Leave Unattended

Even outdoors, the rule applies: candles are open flames and must never be left burning unattended.

Our Recommendation

Candles with lids stay cleaner between uses. You can find suitable options in the Outdoor Citronella Collection.
