Types of Fire Pits in Weldon Springs, MO
"Fire Pit" is an umbrella term for flames that a group of people can gather around. As opposed to an outdoor fireplace, people form a circle around a fire pit. Which type of fire pit you want will mostly depend on why you want a fire pit in the first place.
Fire Bowls
Fire bowls come in a huge range of sizes. They're best for homeowners in Weldon Springs, MO want to use the fire pit for hanging out with friends, reading by themselves, or drinking a glass of wine with their partner while stargazing. Because they're low to the ground, they're good for keeping people sitting in chairs warm. You can also choose to elevate the fire bowl so the heat spreads further.
Fire Tables
Fire tables come in a range of shapes, from circles, to rectangles, to octagons. They have a place around the fire where glasses and appetizers can site, or where you can rest your feet. They're great for people who like to use their outdoor space to host parties. They often feature best as the centerpiece among outdoor couches.
Tabletop Fire Pits
These are petite and portable and are designed to be placed on small tables throughout an outdoor space. They're great for keeping hands warm while you eat and discouraging mosquitoes.
Fire Rings
These will remind you most of an old school campfire. These metal rings rest directly on the ground and are easy to store when you're not using them. These are purely wood-burning fire pits, and rings help keep the embers and wood from hurting other people or property.
Pagodas
Inspired by ancient Asian architecture, pagodas are vertically rectangular fire pits with a curved roof and chimney where smoke can escape to. They essentially look like large lanterns, and heat can be felt by someone on any side of it.
Fire Columns
These fire pits are taller and thinner. Some have a small bowl on top of them, while some have fire coming directly from the square top. These are perfect for smaller yards in Weldon Springs, MO as they provide warmth without taking up too much space. They often have impressive designs.
4 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Get a Custom Fire Pit in Weldon Springs, MO
Poynter designs custom fire pits unique to each job we do. 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 buying a fire pit:
- 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 can be stored to create more space when you're not using it.
- Would I prefer 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.
On the other hand, you may prefer top use wood. It's hard to beat the sound of crackling wood on a chilly night, and you'll be able to put your Weldon Springs, MO friends and family in awe with your ability to create a sustainable fire.
- Where do I want to put my fire pit? If you opt for a permanent installation, local ordinances or your HOA may have rules about the proximity of the fire pit to neighbor's property in Weldon Springs, MO or to foliage. 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 the centerpiece of your patio or terrace? Or in your pergola or pavilion so you be warm outside when the weather isn't ideal? Or by the swimming pool so you can stay warm while swimming at night.
- What type of fire pit do I want? Fire pits come in all shapes and sizes. 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 during cocktails and mingling? Or a table-height fire pit, that you can eat over and then open up after dessert?
