Outdoor Natural Gas Fireplaces

One of the joys of cool weather is gathering around an outdoor fire. Fortunately, natural gas fireplaces are perfect for the outdoors. They provide the beauty of a wood fire without the chores of chopping wood or cleaning up ashes.

Before you design your outdoor gas fireplace, study your landscape design and your home’s architectural features. The area needs to accommodate the plants and furniture as well as the expected number of people who will gather around the fireplace. By incorporating existing design elements, you can created a seamless transition to the fireplace, whether it is located on the patio or by the pool.

A traditional closed container, chimney and hearth is best if you want to spread heat efficiently to an outdoor room. The container and chimney can be made from copper, cast iron or cast aluminum to provide a sleek look. A fireplace that serves as a landscape accent within your garden creates a more contemporary look.

Some outdoor gas fireplace designs resemble a fire pit but are not elevated. They provide a modern look and are great for cooking as heat and flame height can be easily controlled with natural gas. Their round shape is especially suitable for parties when a large number of people gathers.
