A Guide to Outdoor Fire Pits


Outdoor Fire Pits

During a beautiful evening, wouldn’t it be nice to sit outside and enjoy the company of family or friends in warmth and comfort? Then consider installing an outdoor fire pit at your home. There are many types of fire pits that can be installed in your outdoor space. You can choose from custom fire pits, modular fire pits or the pre-built kits. They do not only add warmth, they also enhance the looks of your landscape. The ambiance created by crackling flames make nights more enjoyable. Complete the camp-fire-like vibe by toasting marshmallows or chestnuts!   

Custom Fire Pits

Outdoor fire pits can be designed to reflect your aesthetic taste and to complement the looks of your backyard. In creating custom fire pits, different materials are arranged to create a unique and original look for your home. These fire pits are built into any size, shape, or color that you prefer. One of the most popular fire pits today is made of fire glass. Fire glass is, basically, a tempered glass. Available in a wide range of colors, fire glasses can increase the vibrancy and color of flames, and they do not produce soot, smoke, ash, and toxic fumes. Other options for customized fire pits are gas logs and lava rock.

Pre-Built Fire Kits

Pre-built fire pits are another popular option for residential and commercial landscapes. You can have the kits installed DIY or professionally to make them permanent features of your yard. Pre-built kits are a great option for homeowners who want the same built-in look of a custom fire pit but without the associated costs. A wide range of prefabricated fire pits is available for every kind of taste, preference, and budget. The most common models are made from concrete, but you’ll also find pre-built kits made from stones, bricks, and many more.

Modular Fire Pits

Modular fire pits offer a quick, easy, and convenient way to add spark to your outdoor living experience. These outdoor fire pits consist of pre-made, stamped and colored concrete that are cut into segments for easy assembly. They allow you to get a fire pit into your property without the use of heavy construction equipment, as well as the needed permits. You can install them in one setting or in phases, but overall installation time is significantly less than custom-made or pre-built models. Because they require less labor, overall cost for the installation of modular fire pits is significantly lower than “poured-in-place” concrete units.
