UNIQUE FIRE PIT IDEAS
You might think there is only one way to craft a firepit, but you may be surprised to find that there are several creative ideas for this to act as the centerpiece in your backyard. There are so many options to choose from so it’s important to pick one that goes well with the aesthetics of your home, pool (if you have one), and landscape.
First off, you will need to decide whether you want an open-air fire pit or an outdoor fireplace. Figure out if you want something more sophisticated for adult friends or a more practical design for family and children to enjoy. There are many shapes to choose from, including classic round outdoor firepits, square or rectangle rock firepits, Victorian or sophisticated outdoor fireplace designs, triangle-shaped firepits, and simple tabletop and bowl firepits. You can utilize cinder blocks, natural stone, boulders, and varying kinds of stone that may be used to build your fire pit or outdoor fireplace as well.
Another decision to be made is whether you want an in-ground or above-ground firepit. Once you determine the kind of firepit you want for your home, it is also important to explore whether you prefer a wood-burning or gas-fueled firepit. There are a plethora of stones to use in gas outdoor firepits from simple round stones, natural rocks, fake wood logs, and more.
LAYOUT AND SEATING STYLES
Once you choose the kind of firepit you want for your home, it’s important to establish where to put the firepit and what kind of layout you prefer. Those with small children may want to consider safety and pragmatism when it comes to the layout and seating of their firepit.
Varying chair sizes or separate areas for children and adults might also be something to opt for.
If the climate where you live is particularly harsh, you might consider the need for durable and weather-resistant furniture. For those who have particularly large families or often hold parties, it may be an appropriate choice to employ the use of benches in place of chairs.
OUTDOOR LIVING KITS
For those who prefer not to design their own firepit, outdoor living kits are the perfect solution. Choose the best fireplace or firepit style to suit your outdoor tastes. You may want to go with a contemporary style if your tastes are on the sophisticated side. Otherwise, a fireplace with an outdoor bar and grill combo might be more your style. If you have children or prefer something simpler, an earth stone fire pit is a great idea. Add some benches, chairs, a barbecue grill, and even an outdoor bar to complete your amazing outdoor experience.
