Types of Fire Pits in Cottleville, MO

"Fire Pit" is an umbrella term for flames that a group of people can gather around. As opposed to an outdoor fireplace, people sit on any side of a fire pit. What type of fire pit installation is best for you will mostly depend on how you use it.

Fire Bowls

Fire bowls can be small enough to warm your hands, or big enough to warm your entire backyard. They're best for people in Cottleville, MO want to use the fire pit for hanging out with friends, digging into a book, or having an evening drink with their partner while looking at the night sky. Because they're low to the ground, they're good for keeping people sitting in chairs warm. You can make the fire bowl taller to help the heat dissipate a little bit more.

Fire Tables

Fire tables come in a range of shapes, from circles, to rectangles, to octagons. They have surfaces around the fire where glasses and hors d'oeuvres can site, or where you can safely put your feet up. They're great for having people over for dinner or socializing. They are a great addition as the centerpiece among outdoor couches.

Tabletop Fire Pits

These are petite and portable and are designed to be placed on patio tables, decks, or small tables around a pool. They're great for adding a little extra warmth to an outdoor dinner and keeping the mosquitoes away.

Fire Rings

These will remind you most of a classic campfire. They're simple metal rings that are placed on the ground and can be put way when not in use. These are purely wood-burning fire pits, and rings help contain the fire.

Pagodas

Inspired by ancient Asian design concepts, pagodas are enclosed, typically square fire pits with a chimney where smoke can escape to. They give the impression of large lanterns, and heat can be felt by someone on any side of it.

Fire Columns

These fire pits are thin and typically at least four or five feet tall. Sometimes the fire comes from a small fire bowl on top, while some have gas lines that produce fire directly from the column. These are perfect for smaller patios in Cottleville, MO as they provide warmth without taking up too much space. They typically have impressive designs.

4 Questions to Ask Yourself When Getting a Custom Fire Pit in Cottleville, MO

Poynter offers custom fire pits because we know that one or two designs aren't the best for every outdoor space. You need to find the fire pit that is perfect for your home and what you want it for. Below are four essential questions to ask before deciding what kind of fire pit you want:

  1. Should I get a permanent installation, or one I can move when not in use? A permanent fixture can add an amazing accent to the rest of your outdoor space. But a portable custom fire pit can be stored to make room for a crowd when you're not using it.
  2. Would I prefer a gas or wood-burning fire pit? Gas fire pits are easier to start and keep clean. Poynter has a thorough understanding of how to properly install gas fixtures and lines to provide a flame that is both realistic and warming.

    On the other hand, you may prefer the traditional wood-burning approach. There's nothing like the sound of crackling wood on a chilly evening, and you'll be able to impress Cottleville, MO family and friends with your fire-making skills.

  3. What area of my yard do I want the fire pit in? If you opt for a permanent installation, local laws or your homeowners' association may have restrictions on how close the fire pit can be to neighbor's property in Cottleville, MO or to shrubs, trees, or other greenery. You also need to think about how you want it to fit with the rest of your outdoor space. Do you want it in a secluded area for short 2-hour vacations? As a central feature in your patio or terrace? Or in your pergola or pavilion so you be warm outside when it's raining? Or by the swimming pool so you can stay warm between dips in the pool.
  4. What kind of fire pit do I want? There are several types of fire pits. Do you want a standard, low-sitting circle to keep you warm as you sit around it? A taller, fire column to keep people warm as they circulate your patio? Or a table-height fire pit, that you can drinks, appetizers, or dessert over?

    Also, what kind of style custom fire pit do you want? Do you want a classic looking stone custom fire pit? Or a sleeker, more modern look?
