How to Choose the Best Gas Fire Feature for Your Outdoor Space

Fire features are the perfect way to bring warmth and ambiance to your outdoor living space. Whether you're looking for a built-in gas fireplace, a fire pit to gather around, or a dramatic decorative element, there's a fire feature that will suit your needs perfectly. How to Choose the Best Gas Fire Feature for Your Outdoor Space is full of helpful guidelines for choosing the right one for you.

Deciding on a gas fire feature can be complex, with so many different designs to choose from and each one having its own set of pros and cons. To find the perfect fit for your home, you need to understand how you want to use it. With your goals in place, we'll cover what makes each of our fire feature models unique so that you can find which one best suits your needs.

How Do You Plan on Using Your Gas Fire Feature?

The right gas fire feature for your backyard will depend on how you plan on using it. If your goal is to create a moody outdoor living space, you may need customizable sizes. A built-in gas fireplace can soften energy and create an intimate ambiance for relaxing, whereas custom fire pit tables are great for parties and conversation. Focusing on your goals for how you want to use your outdoor space will help determine the type and number of fire features needed.

Here are some questions to ask:

• What are your goals for adding a gas fire feature? 
• How much space do you have?
• What activities do you want to do around the fire? 
• What is the one thing you want to be able to do that you can't? 
• Are there any safety hazards where you want your fire feature installed? Overgrown brush, structures, high traffic areas, play areas? 
• Can utilities be installed where you want to put your gas fire feature?
• What sort of features do you want, and how big should they be?
• What fire media do you prefer - gas logs, rock, or colored fire glass?

Custom fire features can transform a space, whether creating stunning decoration around a water feature, creating a cozy outdoor seating area or providing a place to spend the evening dialoguing and sharing refreshments around the fire. As you go through these questions, your answers will help determine the models, shapes, sizes, finishes, and accessories you will need.
