Outdoor fireplaces provide a way to enjoy the outdoors during those winter months. They can also add value because they are often functional showpieces that add to the outdoor decor. If you intend on placing one in your yard, there are some things to consider.
One of the first things to think about with fireplaces in Sarasota FL is where they will get the most use in the yard. In many cases, this means near the social areas of the patio. But if you have the yard space, you can create a whole sitting area just for the fireplace itself. But the fireplace will have to be placed far enough from the structure of the house so that its heat doesn’t cause damage to the exterior of the home.
Another thing to consider is the overall size of the fireplace you are want. Large fireplaces often become the centerpiece for the yard. Just be aware that bigger fireplaces do take up more yard space and you may need a taller smoke stack in order to accommodate the size of the area you have for the fire. This is something that you should discuss with HL Posey Builders to ensure that your fireplace is the size it needs to be.
The type of brick used is another thing to think about. While most people think of brick as being red, they also come in various shades of brown. There is also the option of using stone for the fireplace veneer. So, the color and material choices are going to come into play to help make your fireplace look like it is an elegant part of the yard. Often, this decision can be more difficult to make than the decision to have a fireplace. But it is important in considering what type of look you are going for.
Outdoor fireplaces can add value, beauty as well as function to a normally dormant winter backyard. While there are many decisions to make before construction, once they are finished they become the showpiece of the yard. They can also make the yard a more welcoming place during the fall and winter months.
