Outdoor Fireplaces, Fire Pits and Barbecues Expand Your Patio Rooms

Plan your patio rooms with outdoor fireplaces, patio furniture to cozy up on, an out door kitchen with barbecue grill for your ultimate landscape design.  You will find great design ideas and online sources here.

 

Climates with chilly summer nights or warmer climes like Arizona with chilly winter nights beg for an outdoor fireplace. 

Imagine enjoying the starry sky while snuggled up to your outdoor fireplace in your patio room.  You may have a fire pit lined with fire brick and filled with silica sand with an open fire.  You are sitting in a comfy patio chair with your feet resting on the flagstone cap.  

Many landscape designers will build a permanent seat wall around the fire pit.  Some with a back, others with just the seat.  The look is great.  The comfort is awful.  The seat is hard, if you can put a patio seat cushion on it, it makes the seat too high.  Short people (like me)  can’t put their feet on the floor or reach the fire pit!

My idea of sitting in front of an outdoor fireplace is to be comfy, slouchy and  warm.  A great slouch position with my feet propped up by the fire is the best!  Grab your own patio chair, or a patio loveseat to share and move close to or away from the fire as you like.  

   

Portable Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits

Another favorite fire pit is a huge, 42” concrete wok pot found at garden centers.  Fill it with silica sand and toss a dura log on for your fire - A Big Look for Little Cash (Fill your fire pit with gorgeous bright annuals during the seasons you don’t use it for a fire!)  

You can find great looking and a good selection of outdoor fireplaces and fire pits online at   Outdoor Living and Yardiac.com.  

These fire pit and outdoor fire place designs are nice because they can be moved around your yard for different occasions.  

   

Outdoor Fireplaces - Chimeneas Made from Fired Pottery

Chimineas are a portable fireplace made in Mexico of pottery.  They fit nicely in small spaces and put out great heat.   

You can pick them up at Mexican shops all over the southwest and at swap meets and even some street corners!  Most of these sellers will bargain.  Prices for small ones start at about $70.  

 

Outdoor Fireplaces, Torches and Lanterns Give Romance to your Pool, Spa and Patio Rooms

An outdoor fireplace,  beehive fireplace or fire pit made of masonry and firebrick with some with smooth stucco or brick adds a beautiful focal point for any backyard landscape.  These can be accented with mosaic tile or stone complementing other areas of your overall landscape design.  

Incorporating your outdoor fireplace with your swimming pool and/or spa is also a nice look and great romantic feel. Place torches and lanterns around your water feature, near the spa on patio tables.....

Light your fire, torches and lanterns all at once to give your patio room a special glow and ambiance!  Check out  Yardiac.com -Patio Heaters at Wholesale Prices

Be sure to check on building and fire codes in your area before you place your fireplace too close to your home or other structures!
