Fuel Type: Natural Gas vs Wood & More

• Outdoor gas fireplace. A natural gas-burning fireplace gets a roaring fire going instantly, relying on gas lines to deliver fuel.
• Outdoor wood fireplace. Wood-burning fireplaces are classic options that offer unbeatable ambiance and the delightful smell of wood.
• Smokeless fire pit. Pellet stoves and other types of smokeless fire pits are ideal for those who don’t like the smell of smoke but still want to enjoy the ambiance of a real fire.
• Outdoor electric fireplace. Electric fireplaces are safer options than those that actually produce fire while still generating warmth and creating an inviting focal point.

Single-sided vs Double-sided

• Single-sided. Single-sided fireplaces are what most people think of when they think of fireplaces; they have only one side through which to view the fire.
• Double-sided. Double-sided fireplaces are placed inside a wall between two distinct rooms, ensuring the fireplace can be enjoyed in both areas.

Freestanding vs Built-in

• Freestanding fireplace. Freestanding fireplaces, as the name suggests, are a type of fireplace not directly attached to a wall, allowing for creative placement.
• Built-in fireplace. Built-in fireplaces are those directly built into a wall or other structure.

Accessories & More

Seat walls, wood storage, hearths, mantels, and more: the team at Poynter Landscape Architecture & Construction can help you decide which accessories are best for your outdoor lifestyle.
