Outdoor Fireplace Tips
-
Follow the rules
Stick to the regulations of your area when designing and building a fireplace. Each area has its own set of planning rules and regulations. -
Get an extinguisher
Put safety first when you have an outdoor fireplace and have a fire extinguisher nearby. You should also create a safety checklist. -
Build with bricks
Build your fireplace using bricks for an old-school yet classic design. Bricks are fire resistant, making them a great choice of material. -
Consider using stones
Stones are fire resistant, making them ideal for fireplaces. Limestone, granite, marble, slate, or travertine create a unique design. -
Create a poolside fireplace
Incorporate your fireplace into a poolside design. This will show a unique style while giving guests a cozy space to dry off.
