Outdoor Fireplaces Ottawa

Pick a style. Fire pits comes in various styles. Popular pits include ones that feature a fire bowl and square versions that resemble low fire tables. If you want a fire pit that can be moved around easily, try a bowl version. If you have a roomy backyard and want a warm gathering spot, consider a more stationary firetable.

Know The Dimensions. Generally, fire pits range in size from 20″-45″ in diameter. Small ones are usually 20″-25″ while the largest pits are about 40″-45″ in diameter (about the size of an outdoor table). For the most part, smaller fire pits are usually ones that consist of a bowl, which make them perfect for compact decks and patios.

Decide on fuel. Most fire pits are either wood-burning or use gas/propane, and it’s important to decide on which type you want. One of the biggest cons of having a wood fire pit is that there are the stringiest rules and fire codes to have one in your backyard, as city bylaws an regulations outlined. That’s why we recommend a portable outdoor fire pit in propane for the added convenience. Our pick: Bola by Marquis Fireplaces.

Keep Materials In Mind. For fire pits, materials can range from stone and tile to stainless steel and copper. Because stone is heavy, it’s best used with larger, square pits that will not be moved around. The same goes for stainless steel fire pits, which can be pricey but it’s rain- and rust-resistant and also easy to clean. Thus, if you’re looking to invest in a good fire pit, stainless steel is a great option. If you’re looking for something that’s standard, consider a Fire-Table as it offers a gathering place for dinning and conversing.

Precautions & Extra Accessories. Never use a fire pit or fire table too close to a wall or your home and remember to be careful if you’re using a fire pit on a wooden deck. Generally, the best surfaces to place a fire pit on are hard stone, cement or tile, which are fireproof. Also, many fire tables come with accessories such as a vinyl cover that can protect it from the elements when not in use. You can also get wheels for portability offered as extra accessories.
