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

Poynter designs custom fire pits unique to each project we take on. You need to find the fire pit fits your tastes and what you want it for. We've put together four important questions to ask before deciding what kind of fire pit you want:

  1. Should I get a permanent installation, or a portable one? A permanent fixture can can be the focal point of an outdoor space. But a portable custom fire pit is easily removed to make room for a crowd when you're not using it.
  2. Do I want a gas or wood-burning fire pit? Gas fire pits can be more convenient as a fire can get started in seconds, and they are much easier to 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.

    Others may prefer the classic wood-burning approach. It's hard to beat the crackle and pop of wood on a chilly evening, and you'll be able to impress Oakville, MO family and friends with your fire-making skills.

  3. What area of my outdoor space do I want the fire pit in? If you choose a permanent installation, local ordinances or your HOA may have rules about how close the fire pit can be to neighbor's property in Oakville, MO or to trees. 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 keep warm when the weather isn't great? Or close to the swimming pool so you can stay warm while swimming at night.
  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 guests warm during cocktails and mingling? Or a table-height fire pit, that you can drinks, appetizers, or dessert over?
