Which Outdoor Fireplace Will Suit My Backyard?

Reclaim your backyard this winter by installing an outdoor fireplace on your patio

Outdoor fireplaces are growing in popularity for a number of reasons. Installing one increases the value of your home, allows for year-round use, provides an attractive source of heat and light, and some units are even designed to function as a barbecue too!

With the overwhelming number of outdoor fireplace designs and finishes to choose from, how do you decide which one will suit your property?

Well, when you want to install an outdoor fireplace, there are a few important factors to consider, and these will guide your choice of unit.

The top considerations include:

• The location and layout of the space in which the fireplace is to be installed.
• Any local area regulations that may apply.
• The fireplace features and functions you want.
• Installation costs.
• Size, materials and construction.

A general rule of thumb is do not place a wood burning unit or any fireplace outdoors where you would be uncomfortable placing a TV.

Here are four of Jetmaster’s most popular outdoor fireplaces to consider:

2. The Universal Outdoor Wood Fire

The Universal outdoor wood fire takes outdoor entertaining to a whole new level. The firebox, which is constructed from durable mild steel, offers radiant convected heat and features a log pan for minimal cleaning. The unit will add a rustic vibe to your outdoor space.
