We all love cozying up with a good book in front of a roaring fire on a cool fall day. Many don't expect to be cozied up outside in October, but now with outdoor fireplaces and fire pits it happens! Your family and friends can enjoy evenings in front of the fire, roasting marshmallows, telling scary stories and just enjoying the evening.
You may have noticed the outdoor fireplace trend at home shows and garden centers, ranging from small metal fire pits to massive custom built stone fireplaces with grills, waterfalls, stereos and seating built right in. The trend doesn't seem to be a trend as much as a change in how we look at our backyards, from a place to play in the summer with a plain slab patio to a 3 or 4 season outdoor room complete with stamped concrete and built in fireplaces, grills and pizza ovens!
By adding a roof extension to your home you can sit in the warmth of the fire and watch it snow or rain. With so many options to customizing your outdoor room, here's an abbreviated list of things to complete the room: fireplace, grill, water feature, patio furniture, outdoor rug, stamped concrete patio, gazebo and built-in speakers.
We've been adding brick and stone fireplaces to stamped concrete patios to homes and we don't see the trend slowing. Whether you're building a new home or just extending your living area outside, you'll want to remember to add a custom fireplace to your plans.
