Outdoor fireplace for every taste! Garden and backyard ideas!
A private home is not only a comfortable sanctuary where you can enjoy peace and tranquility, but it also includes a personal outdoor space that can be thoughtfully designed. Many people focus on landscape design, planting trees and flowers, decorating pathways and fences, but the central element of the outdoor space remains the leisure area. A comfortable outdoor relaxation area is incomplete without an outdoor fireplace, as it serves as a gathering point and a key symbol that draws attention.
Characteristics of an Outdoor Fireplace
Before constructing an outdoor fireplace, it’s essential to select its location based on expert recommendations and personal preferences. Primarily, the fireplace should not be positioned too close to the residence, as food smells and smoke may enter the home. Simultaneously, one should consider the wind direction to ensure smoke doesn’t drift towards the living space or deeper into the property.
As previously mentioned, an outdoor fireplace can serve as an attractive focal point for the outdoor space, so it should not be obscured by plants or fences. It’s crucial that everyone can view and appreciate the design. Moreover, having the fireplace in an open area allows for better control of the burning process, regardless of where you are on the property.
To shield the flames from drafts, a hedge can be used, as it provides a suitable microclimate, imparts a sense of comfort, and still allows for an unobstructed view. At the same time, it’s important to consider fire safety and maintain some distance between the landscape design element and the open fire to prevent potential ignition. It’s also a good idea to consult with the fire safety department in your region to obtain reliable advice and learn about the local safety standards.
