Imagine that you are sitting in your
backyard on a cool, breezy night. Youre sipping hot tea and
looking at the stars. The sound of crickets chirping and frogs
croaking is natures symphony. The scent of jasmine is in the
air. Its the perfect nightalmost. It is a tad cold, the air a
bit too nippy. If only there was a way to heat your outdoor
space the way you do your home. Thanks to outdoor gas
fireplaces, you can.
Outdoor gas fireplaces can range from rustic simplicity to elegant extravagance. They can be
free-standing or built-in structures. A built-in fireplace can
be the centerpiece of an elaborate outdoor living area. These
fireplaces are designed by landscape architects or designers.
Some are built by pool and spa professionals. Made of bricks
and mortar, they can feature any design elements you might
desire. They can be a part of an outdoor kitchen or near the
pool. Many people are using outdoor gas fireplaces to make
their pools and hot tubs more useful year-round. In cool
months, they can sit on the deck and enjoy hot chocolate and
roasted marshmallows by the fire. Others create an elaborate
backyard oasis, complete with palm trees and verandawith the
fireplace an intricate part of the design.
On the flip side are the smaller, less expensive portable
models. Pacific Products, for example, offers a portable
outdoor gas fireplace. This lightweight fireplace can be easily
transported on camping trips, to tailgate parties, or simply to
your backyard deck.
Chimineas are another form of outdoor fireplaces. While these
are not technically gas fireplaces, some can use natural gas
inserts.
Target and Sears both offer a selection of low-cost outdoor
fireplaces. These are small, portable models. You might also
want to check your local retail, department, and garden
supplies stores.
Montigo is another source for outdoor gas fireplaces. An
internet search for outdoor gas fireplace will uncover even
more resources. Gas
