What you Should Know Before Planning an Outdoor Fire Pit

Outdoor firepit
|

An outdoor fire pit can be the perfect addition to your outdoor space, adding ambiance for entertaining, and warmth on those cool nights. Since a built-in fire pit is permanent, you should consider these factors before you have one installed.

Material

Do you prefer a gas or wood burning fire pit? This makes a difference in the type of materials you choose, and the design of your fire pit. If you are not sure which type of fire pit you prefer, discuss the pros and cons of each with one of the professionals at Promier Landscapes.

Local regulations

Some neighborhoods and communities have particular rules about fire pits or additions to your landscape. If you have a homeowners association, check to see if you need special permission to have a fire pit built in your yard. Also, some cities or counties may have zone regulations that do not permit a fire pit.

Location, location, location

When adding a permanent fixture to your landscape, such as a fire pit, be sure you choose an appropriate location. For safety, the fire pit should be at least 10 feet away from your house or any other structure, like a shed or porch. Also, consider any particular views you may have from your yard. You may want to situate the fire pit in a manner where you can sit and enjoy beautiful scenery by a toasty fire.
