Spring will be here before you know it, and now is the time to prepare for better weather. To optimize you early spring outdoor comfort, invest in a fire pit to help warm up your outdoor living spaces. But, there are many different types, and it may be difficult to choose one. Below, Decorative Creations of Matthews, NC, shares just a few of the unique fire elements you can add to your home.

5 Types of Fire Pits

1. Wood

Fire PitsThese are the most traditional fire pits, and they usually consist of a bowl-like structure made of metal, stone, or concrete. If you’re working with water-logged wood, it might be hard to get a fire started; but, once you get it going, nothing can match a wood fire for coziness and warmth.

2. Gas

Gas fire pits are another great option. They need a little work to set up initially, but after that, it’s easy to get a flame going. Gas-fueled fires produce less smoke and smaller flames, making it the cleaner and safer option. You can also make your fire pit unique by using ceramic logs, fire glass, or lava rocks.

3.  Water & Fire Combination Features

If you’re looking for an extra unique feature for your outdoor space, try out a fountain and fire pit combination. Cultivate the atmosphere you want in your backyard by customizing your water and fire feature. With the relaxing sound of trickling water, it can engage more senses and add to your peaceful backyard experience.

4.  Fire Tables

One great way to entertain is by installing a fire table on your back patio or deck. This can be a dining table for those outdoor dinner parties or a coffee table or bar for a more casual gathering. In the middle of these tables, a gas-fueled fire can create the ambiance and warmth that you need for entertaining on chilly nights. These beautiful pieces will impress your guests.

5.  Small Options

If none of the larger features mentioned above fits your needs, you might try something smaller. You can go with a tabletop gel- or gas-fueled fire feature or a small but beautiful fire urn. These can offer the atmosphere you want without the commitment or cost of larger pieces.

The addition of a fire pit can instantly transform your yard.
