4 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Get a Custom Fire Pit in Winchester, MO
Poynter designs custom fire pits unique to each job we do. We'll be able to give you the fire pit that is perfect for your home and how you envision yourself using it. We've put together four important questions to ask before deciding what kind of fire pit you want:
- Should I get a permanent structure, or a portable one? A permanent fixture can add an amazing accent to the rest of your outdoor space. Or, you can choose a portable option that is easily removed 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 knows how to properly install gas fixtures and lines to provide a flame that is both realistic and warming.
Others may prefer the traditional wood-burning approach. It's hard to beat the crackle and pop of wood on a chilly night, and you'll be able to put your Winchester, 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 permanent, Winchester, MO regulations or your HOA may have restrictions on how close the fire pit can be to neighbor's property in Winchester, MO or to trees. Where's the best place for what I want to use it for? 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 next to the swimming pool so you can stay warm between dips in the pool.
- What type 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 eat over and then open up after dessert?
