An outdoor fireplace is like a cozy campfire you can enjoy in your back garden, on the patio or even on the pool deck.

With an outdoor fireplace on the patio or the pool deck, you can continue to enjoy your outdoor living space long into the chilly months of the year. If you love to entertain family and friends, or just spend a romantic evening with someone special, an outdoor fireplace gives you a warm, cozy, lowlit ambience. There’s a wonderful range of styles and shapes to suit any decor, and you can use them safely in any outdoor location, including the back patio, the pool deck or the porch.

You’ll probably be surprised at what a huge variety of outdoor fireplaces there are to choose from. You can buy anything from a simple, practical steel model to a romantic cast iron work of art. You have a choice of a gas burner, or a real wood or charcoal fireplace. There are even models which double as an outdoor grill, so you can toast marshmallows, or even serve up a real charcoal grilled barbecue while you relax.

Basic outdoor fireplace types.

The simplest type of outdoor fireplace is small and portable enough to use anywhere you choose, and you can find them for as little as a hundred dollars or so. Most are built from sturdy steel, or steel with porcelain components. There are even portable fireplaces on wheels, so you can move the unit from the pool deck to the patio whenever you like.

Larger outdoor fireplaces are designed to be placed in a permanent position. There are some beautiful, romantic copper and cast iron units available, which can make an attractive central design feature of your patio or deck.

One of the most innovative new designs is a fireplace which can be installed as a window box in an exterior wall, so you can sit beside it in your living room, or outside on the patio.
