Outdoor Fire Pits

Choosing a Fire Pit That Is Right for You

There are many different factors to consider when you’re planning the fire pit of your dreams. Are you going for the rustic feel of an old-fashioned brick fire pit, with crackling wood and real smoke? Or are you more attracted to the sleekness and style of a gas fire pit?

Each kind of fire pit comes with its own unique benefits and challenges.

Wood Burning Outdoor Fire Pit

A wood burning fire pit is excellent for those property owners and managers who have a significant amount of space to work with, access to good-quality wood, and who want to evoke campfire memories in your family or employees. There are usually different fire safety regulations when you’re dealing with a wood burning pit.

Get in touch with one of our professionals today to talk about the specific laws regarding wood burning pits in your area. Extra care and attention should be considered when putting fires out, so as to avoid any fire safety issues.

Propane Outdoor Fire Pit

If you’re worried about losing the classic look of a wood burning fire if you were to choose a natural gas fire pit, you can rest assured knowing that it’s still possible to reap most of the benefits of a wood pit with propane. Many clients opt for a brick fire pit, even if the fuel source is gas. There are also a multitude of artificial wood that will make your gas fire pit look almost completely like a wood one. This is a great option if you are safety-conscious or have small children, as set-up and extinguishing are quicker and easier.

There are also different rules and regulations if you opt for a propane fire pit, meaning that they may be more accessible to you in your area. For more details, get in touch with one of our professionals today.

Gas Outdoor Fire Pits

This is our most common outdoor living feature we build for homeowners in San Diego. Most newer homes have a gas line already installed from their builder in their backyard. We are able to use that, and build a custom fire pit to each homeowner’s liking. They can range in size, shape, color, and materials. The most common fire pit we build is one that is about 4 feet square or round and about 14 to 18 inches tall from wall block. These are very easy to turn on and off. We use a high quality stainless steel fire ring, then add lava rock or fire glass to the top. Other fire pits can be rectangular or part of a wall build. Gas fire pits are more affordable than people perceive.

The benefits of a gas fire pit are: they burn clean and have no set up or clean up. The negative aspects are the added cost to run a gas line, and they do not burn as hot as a wood burning fire pit.
