Custom fire pits offer a centralized point in your outdoor living space to gather with friends, relax, and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds you. If you’ve been looking into custom fire pits and have decided to move forward with this project with our help at Oconee Landscape Design, there are several design considerations you need to take into account.
First, determine how you’re going to use the fire pit on a regular basis. Many people use custom fire pits for warmth, cooking, ambiance, or all three. This will influence the type and size of the fire pit you choose.
Second, choose a location for your fire pit that is a safe distance from structures, trees, and other flammable materials. We typically recommend putting custom fire pits 10–20 feet from buildings and overhanging branches. Ensure the area you pick for the fire pit is level and avoid putting it on a wooden deck or near grass.
Third, choose a size for your fire pit that fits well within your outdoor space and accommodates the number of people you plan to entertain. You should also select a design that complements your outdoor décor and overall aesthetic.
We’re excited to help you install a fire pit, so that you can enhance the way you entertain, relax, and enjoy your outdoor living space. For more information about the custom fire pits we install and to start the process, contact us today.
