Consider the type of outdoor fire that best suits your needs and the layout of your entertaining area:
- suspended fire: a striking centrepiece that allows users to sit around the fire
- fire pit: popular for their versatility and 360-degree view of the flames
- inbuilt fireplace: for a more permanent option, made from stone, brick, or metal. These can be customised with mantels and seating areas for a formal look
- cooking appliance: when choosing a fireplace or fire pit that doubles as a cooking appliance, select one that aligns with your culinary preferences and outdoor setup
The placement of your outdoor fire feature is crucial for both safety and usability. Think about the flow of movement in your outdoor area:
- central versus corner placement
- proximity to seating
- accessibility to amenities
- wind protection
The materials you choose for you fire feature and its surroundings can significantly impact the overall look and feel. Stone, brick, concrete and metals are durable materials that provide a classic, timeless look, ideal for natural landscapes.
