Outdoor Fireplaces

As the nights start to get chillier, there is nothing better than gathering around a warm and crackling fire after a long day in the sun. Adding outdoor fireplaces or fire pits to your yard lets you enjoy your property well into the night. Additionally, an outdoor fireplace creates a beautiful focal point for your landscape. Fire features offer a reason to spend more time outside, define your outdoor living area, and provide both practicality and beauty.

Outdoor fireplaces can be enjoyed year-round, thus extending the usability of your outdoor space into late summer, fall, and sometimes even winter months.

Custom Outdoor Fireplaces

An outdoor fireplace will offer the perfect gathering space for friends, family, or just you after sunset. If you love entertaining, a fireplace will give you an excuse to stay outside, with food and drinks, as long as the burning flames work their magic. However, if you want a relaxing night with friends and family, an outdoor fireplace offers a cozy experience during your time together. You may prefer the old-fashioned natural and nostalgic scent of a wood fire or the maintenance-free ease of a gas or electric version. Either way, an outdoor fireplace will become a beloved part of your landscape design.

Gas, Wood, or Electric Outdoor Fireplaces

The first thing you must consider is whether to use gas, wood, or electricity. A traditional wood fireplace captures the unmatched feeling that comes to mind when you picture sitting around the glow of a wood fire. However, wood-burning fireplaces produce significant smoke, effort, and upkeep.

Gas and electric outdoor fireplaces don’t create ash and can generate the same heat and welcoming backyard ambiance. However, you’ll need a gas line or outlet to start your gas or electric fireplace.

Location & Space

Determining the fireplace’s location is another essential step during the planning stage. Outdoor fireplaces come in various shapes and sizes, so choosing the right style and finding the perfect place for your outdoor living space is essential.

When selecting the fireplace location, consider seating and proximity to the home. You might want to be able to walk right outside and sit by the roaring flames. Or, you might prefer that it’s further away from your house to prevent noise from outdoor gatherings from traveling into your home. One of the most critical considerations is local regulations regarding outdoor fires.

If you decide on a wood-burning fireplace, the location should be away from structures, trees, or other flammable materials. Don’t forget to cover electric units outside and protect them from the elements. They can not be exposed directly to the rain or snow. All outdoor fireplaces must need a sturdy, fire-resistant base, such as a concrete slab or fire-resistant pavers.
