A fire feature is a worthwhile addition to any outdoor space in Texas, as it provides warmth during chilly evenings and is the perfect place to gather. However, there are two options you'll need to choose from: a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace. While you can't go wrong with either, you should ask yourself three questions to help you decide. First, how big is your property? An outdoor fireplace is a larger structure than a fire pit, so it's ideal if you have more room to work with. Second, do you want to enjoy your fire feature with a lot of people or just a few? A fire pit can accommodate more people, while an outdoor fireplace only provides warmth in front of it. Third, what are your design goals? An outdoor fireplace is a great statement piece, while a fire pit will blend in naturally with its surroundings.
1. How big is your property?
One thing you'll want to consider when deciding between a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace is the size of your property. Outdoor fireplaces are larger structures that require more room, so they're ideal if you have an equally expansive outside area to accommodate that. On the other hand, fire pits are smaller, so if you don't have a lot of space, they're a good option, too!
2. Do you want to enjoy your fire feature with a lot of people or just a few?
Another factor you'll need to consider when deciding between a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace is whether you want to enjoy your feature with a lot of people or just a few. Fire pits can accommodate more people since you can gather around them, and everyone can stay warm; this is a good option if you want to host a larger group. However, outdoor fireplaces only provide heat directly in front of them, so only a select few will stay warm; this creates a more intimate fireside experience and is perfect if you don't plan to have as big of get-togethers.
3. What are your design goals for your new fire feature?
The last factor you'll want to consider when deciding whether to install a fire pit or an outdoor fireplace is your design goals. Outdoor fireplaces stand out and will draw attention, thus becoming a statement piece on your property. If you want a more dramatic focal point, an outdoor fireplace may be the way to go! On the other hand, fire pits blend in naturally with their surroundings, subtly complementing your existing outside area. So, if you want a fire feature that provides a more seamless look to your property, a fire pit is a good option, too!
