If you’re looking to maximize your outdoor living space – consider the addition of an outdoor firepit. Adding a firepit is a terrific way to enhance your backyard and to extend your living space. Below, we discuss the advantages of incorporating a firepit into your outdoor living space this summer, how to choose the right set-up, safety tips, and more.

The Perks of Adding a Firepit

• Creates an inviting atmosphere for family and friends — Whether you’re spending time with family or having friends visit, the warm ambiance of a fire can’t be beat.
• Adds aesthetic appeal — An outdoor patio with a firepit can complement your deck, patio, or yard and will serve as a lovely focal point.
• Increases home value — Outdoor firepits offer the potential to increase the value of your home. Generally speaking, homes with outdoor fireplaces or firepits typically have a higher resale value than those that don’t have a firepit installed.
• Extends outdoor living space — An outdoor firepit table allows you to maximize your living space beyond the walls of your home, making it a comfy spot for socialization and hosting parties.
• Provides warmth — During the cooler winter months, a firepit serves as an excellent source of heat so that you and your guests can feel cozy and warm — even when it’s snowing.

Make Your Yard the Ultimate Hangout

Friends and family will love to be around an outdoor patio firepit. It’s a wonderful place to gather and enjoy a relaxing ambiance while having fun and making great memories. When you want the yard of your dreams, the bonus backyard that everyone wants to hang out in, having a firepit installed is the right choice for you.

Firepits: A Cozy Feature for All Seasons

While summer is one of the best times for outdoor gatherings, it’s not the only season you can enjoy a firepit. During the chilly fall months, mild spring nights, or festive winter season, your outdoor firepit is the perfect place to gather and make memories year-round.

Choosing the Right Firepit for Your Space

Firepits come in a variety of sizes, styles, and shapes, and can be constructed from stone, concrete, brick, and more, no matter your design style. From traditional wood-burning firepits to modern gas-powered options, we can install a firepit for every preference.

Firepit Safety and Maintenance Tips

• Always use a firepit on a flat, stable surface to reduce the risk of fire.
• Be sure that the firepit is at a safe distance from structures, trees, and other flammable materials.
• Never leave a lit firepit unattended.
• Always extinguish the fire completely when you leave the area.
• Regularly clean your firepit to remove debris and build up.
• Cover your firepit when not in use to help prevent rain, snow, and other elements from entering it and possibly damaging any materials.
