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.
